Trauma

Trauma

Certain events in life can overload a person's mind, causing them to have a sort of breakdown as the psyche or mind is damaged because of the stress of the event. For some people it may be a single event while for others it might be a series of events. The effects of trauma will vary slightly depending on the source of the traumatic event. The symptoms will also vary depending on the exact type of trauma experienced. If trauma is not treated correctly, there is a good chance that it could lead to other serious mental disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder. Here at GoMentor.com, we offer online therapy for all sorts of trauma.

Symptoms and Dangers of Trauma 

Trauma can be thought of as extreme stress that has an actual long term physical and psychological effect on the brain. In general, the symptoms are more intense than normal stress that affects people. In the short term, there may be an inability to talk or moving automatically. After the source of the trauma is gone, there may be a memory loss of the traumatic event as it is blocked from the brain's memory.
