Researchers at McMaster University in Hamilton have released the findings of a national survey that found the rate of lifetime Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) among Canadians was estimated at 9.2 per cent. Altogether, 76.1 per cent of Canadians have been exposed to at least one traumatic event, such as the unexpected death of a loved one, sexual assault or seeing someone badly injured or killed.
PTSD can be accurately diagnosed and effectively treated. As with other health problems, PTSD is more effectively treated if identified early. Delay in treatment
can lead to aggravated symptoms and can also impede recovery (www.forces.gc.ca).
Most people do not go for counselling soon enough. They wonder whether their problems are ‘bad enough’ to warrant the need of a professional. Time and convenience are also an issue. People sometimes need instant help with little or no interruption to their routines or work commitments.
