Absolutely agree with everything you've described, it is my lived experience and CBT truly was the best treatment for myself, EMDR wasn't very good, I certainly think it has it's merits and may now revisit it and try again, but when they tried it 8years ago it made me ill, I'm epileptic but it wasn't recognised until I started having witnessed tonic clonic seizures, 6 years ago and I broke bones in the process, but I had sycope my entire life and possibly went untreated for my entire life, there is definitely damage we know this now, sri's didn't work well, antipsychotics definitely not suitable for myself possibly because of my neuro type, my co occurring MH diagnoses when diagnosed with ptsd were OCD and bipolar 1, once started on depakote, massive improvement, then me and my therapists had a collaborative approach and she built trust first with and in me, I never had that with anyone else, I really opened up, logic works for me. She also recognised I was am autistic and that started the assessment processes, it took years, I implore everyone to do an autism assessment first, it will save a lot of trauma if you know what operating system you're working with. I have a high aces score, my father died when I was 2yo, and just being Autistic trying to navigate in a world that was volatile towards me no matter where I was, no safe space anywhere, everyone attacked me physically, family, teachers, nuns, peers, I became withdrawn in childhood, explosive in teens, then in adulthood avoident. Always screen for Autism first. Statistically Autists are high risk for PTSD and cPTSD. I'm just trying to give honest incite. Regards~ Actually Autistic
I'm a bit triggered just now almost 50 day's since the latest natural disaster and I'm clearing out my house for repairs after a flood. This is me doing self CBT, logic works. Never use manipulation. Never all autists have some if not a full PDA profile and we will not trust you. Ty sorry for rant.
Sir, you said in the above video, that PTSD is not diagnosed in India because of several factors. Do you think depression and anxiety are more easily diagnosed here but the real underlying symptoms are of PTSD , which remains un/ under diagnosed?
Yes Sir so true. Domestic violence, Child abuse cases are reported few and far between. No one even acknowledges adverse childhood experiences. Thankyou for your response.Can you please elaborate on Acute Stress Disorder and Adjustment Disorders (DSM 5) .Also your opinion on Dr. Seligmans Positive Psychology!
I came across with raped , sexual accused women' & children. They are comfortable to live with issues & no complaints apparently may be due to inferiority complex , lack of social & family support . I met many raped women & orphan children , abused children . There is no voice for them .. They are scared of stigma . I am working on it
People are not accepting mental illness & health problems.. They are ready to live with mental issues . PTSD is also high in india ... People ignore & accept to compromise with healthy mental health
I think India needs to find their citizens that served in Iraq and Afghanistan or any war zone. Do a study to see if they have PTSD from what they have experienced.
I love your tutorials
Thank you very much for your support and affection
Thank you so much for clarity dear sir

Sir, you said in the above video, that PTSD is not diagnosed in India because of several factors. Do you think depression and anxiety are more easily diagnosed here but the real underlying symptoms are of PTSD , which remains un/ under diagnosed?
Yes, all possible reasons can be considered
However, one need to do systematically scientific research to answer the question
Yes Sir so true. Domestic violence, Child abuse cases are reported few and far between. No one even acknowledges adverse childhood experiences.

Sir can a person have anxiety and depression ,OCD,altogether?
Yes
Yes
Sir can a person have anxiety and depression ,OCD,altogether?,and even schizophrenia ?!
Though PTSD may seem to be less, C-PTSD in reality is not definitely less.
Possible but need to do a prevalence study in general population
I came across with raped , sexual accused women' & children. They are comfortable to live with issues & no complaints apparently may be due to inferiority complex , lack of social & family support . I met many raped women & orphan children , abused children . There is no voice for them .. They are scared of stigma . I am working on it
I appreciate your work and contribution towards the survivors
People are not accepting mental illness & health problems.. They are ready to live with mental issues . PTSD is also high in india ... People ignore & accept to compromise with healthy mental health
I comprehensively agree with your opinion
I think India needs to find their citizens that served in Iraq and Afghanistan or any war zone. Do a study to see if they have PTSD from what they have experienced.
Thank you very much for the suggestion
However, there is an excellent article on PTSD - www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6620607/
