Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung

  • Chapter
Erlebens- und Verhaltensstörungen, Abhängigkeit und Suizid

Part of the book series: Psychiatrie der Gegenwart ((SPEZIELLE,volume 8))

Zusammenfassung

In zunehmendem Maße sieht sich unsere Gesellschaft den verschiedenen Formen menschlicher Gewalt wie Vergewaltigung, Raub, Körperverletzung und Unfällen sowie Naturkatastrophen ausgesetzt. Das kann bei den betroffenen Personen intensive Gefühle von Entsetzen, Angst und lähmender Hilflosigkeit auslösen. Ungefähr 60% der Männer und 50% der Frauen haben wenigstens einmal in ihrem Leben ein psychisches Trauma — definiert als lebensbedrohliche Situation für die eigene oder eine nahestehende Person — erlebt. Von denjenigen, die sich mit einem traumatischen Ereignis konfrontiert sahen, entwickeln 39% anschließend eine posttraumatische Belastungsstörung (“posttraumatic stress disorder„ PTSD). In den Vereinigten Staaten wird die Lebenszeitprävalenz für eine posttraumatische Belastungsstörung auf 7,8% geschätzt; bei Frauen ist die Störung doppelt so häufig wie bei Männern. Die Prävalenz für eine posttraumatische Belastungsstörung ist somit mehr als 2mal so hoch wie die für die bipolare Störung oder für Schizophrenie.
