A person may encounter or witness a traumatic or horrifying incident where there was substantial bodily harm or threat, and this can result in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), formerly known as shell shock or battle fatigue syndrome.

PTSD is a serious condition that can develop after such an event. Traumatic experiences that leave people feeling incredibly terrified, powerless, or horrified can lead to PTSD. Treatment for PTSD has three major objectives: Reduce the frequency, intrusiveness, and effect of the PTSD symptoms on your life.

Instruct you on how to handle symptoms when they do arise. Regain a feeling of positivity and self-worth.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Explanation:

According to the definition by World Health Organization (WHO), a risk factor is any characteristic or exposure of an individual that increases the likelihood of developing a disease or an injury. Some examples of risk factors are tobacco and alcohol, poor sanitation and hygiene, malnutrition, unprotected sex, high blood pressure, prolonged exposure to sunlight etc. Risk factors act individually but with time they coexist and interact with each other.

Further explanation:

The risk factors are categorized into five groups

• Behavioral

• Physiological

• Demographic

• Environmental

• Genetic

1. Behavioral risk factors - these occur due to the behavior and action of an individual. Therefore, behavioral risk factors can be reduced by changing the lifestyle of an individual. Some examples for this type are,

- Meal patterns

- Drug usage

- Physical inactivity

- Unprotected sex

- Not having proper vaccination

2. Physiological risk factors – these factors are related to individual’s physiological factors and they may occur in combination with genetic and behavioral factors. Some examples are,

- Obesity

- High/ low blood pressure

- High/low blood glucose levels

- High cholesterol levels

3. Demographic risk factors – these factors are common for overall population. These may vary according to the age, gender, occupation, religion, wage

4. Environmental risk factors – environment includes social, cultural, political, biological and economic factors. Some examples are,

- Poor sanitation and hygiene

- Environmental pollution

- Risks at career place

- Social and cultural rituals

5. Genetic risk factors – these factors occur due to individual’s genes. Some diseases and characteristics are inherited from individual’s parents. For example, Thalassemia, sickle cell anaemia. Some diseases may occur due to the mutation of individual’s genes. For examples, color blindness, Tay-sachs disease and phenylketonuria.
