jsha1121:

Can you tell me how it is related to psychology???

mxddi3:

well people can get PTSD after experiencing traumatic events such as an accident, rape, war,etc. and this changsd the way the person will respond to stress and changes the way that information is carried between the nerves. PTSD also makes it more likely for people to get other mental issues like depression or anxiety. As you said, it messes with their brains, which makes it a psychological matter

jsha1121:

ok it's good but I need it more in depth because I have to write a paragraph about it

mxddi3:

i cant do all the work for you. just elaborate on tht and give more examples and details

cjsmith0608:

it is because Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior and ptsd affects behavior and the mind

jsha1121:

mxddi3, i know will change it and make it my own words because I have to write an essay about PTSD and I just need this paragraph about how they r related

cjsmith0608:

i can give you a good description of ptsd if it might help

jsha1121:

yeah can you do that, if am not bothering you

cjsmith0608:

PTSD changes the body's response to stress. It affects the stress hormones and chemicals that carry information between the nerves. People who have suffered childhood abuse or other previous traumatic experiences are likely to develop the disorder, sometimes months or years after the trauma.

jsha1121:

jsha1121:
