PTSD
PTSD is a serious disorder that results from exposure to a traumatic event. The concept was formulated during the Vietnam War. An event is considered traumatic if it is extreme, death threatening or causes serious injury, and the response involves severe fear, helplessness and horror.
ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. Children with ADHD may have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors (may act without thinking about what the result will be), or be overly active.
Depression is a mood disorder that affects roughly 16% of Americans at some point during their lifetime. It can result in low mood, feelings of guilt, sleeping issues, as well as lead to issues like arthralgia, chronic back pain, and bilateral neurologic symptoms.
Suicide is a serious public health problem; however, suicides are preventable with timely, evidence-based and often low-cost interventions. While the link between suicide and mental disorders (in particular, depression and alcohol use disorders) is well established in high-income countries, many suicides happen impulsively in moments of crisis with a breakdown in the ability to deal with life stresses, such as financial problems, relationship break-up or chronic pain and illness. In addition, experiencing conflict, disaster, violence, abuse, or loss and a sense of isolation are strongly associated with suicidal behaviour. Suicide rates are also high amongst vulnerable groups who experience discrimination, such as refugees and migrants; indigenous peoples; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex (LGBTI) persons; and prisoners. By far the strongest risk factor for suicide is a previous suicide attempt (WHO, 2022)
Occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. Many people worry about things such as health, money, or family problems. But anxiety disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear. For people with an anxiety disorder, the anxiety does not go away and can get worse over time. The symptoms can interfere with daily activities such as job performance, schoolwork, and relationships (NIH, 2022)
