Paula Schnurr on what scientists know about PTSD in war veterans

EarthSky

Post traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that affects up to 30% of soldiers returning from Iraq, according to a 2010 army study.

創(chuàng)傷后應(yīng)激障礙（PTSD）是一種焦慮障礙，據(jù)今年的一項(xiàng)軍事調(diào)查，伊戰(zhàn)歸國(guó)的美軍士兵有30%以上受該病折磨。

EarthSky spoke with Paula Schnurr, deputy executive director of the VA’s National Center for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. She said PTSD involves changes in a person’s psychological state and their neurobiological state.

本站記者采訪了退伍軍人管理局國(guó)家PTSD研究中心副執(zhí)行主任寶拉·施努爾。她表示，創(chuàng)傷后應(yīng)激障礙會(huì)給患者的心理和神經(jīng)生物學(xué)狀態(tài)造成改變。

Paula Schnurr: That is, their brain changes. The systems in the brain that help us deal with stress and regulate fear and emotional responding are changed as you might expect in response to the extreme trauma of combat.

寶拉·施努爾：也就是說(shuō)，病人的大腦出現(xiàn)了病變。那些幫助我們應(yīng)對(duì)壓力，控制恐懼等情緒反應(yīng)的大腦機(jī)制發(fā)生了變化，病人仿佛期待著極度痛苦的創(chuàng)傷事件不斷重演并作出回應(yīng)。

People may be flooded with memories of the traumatic event and have trouble falling asleep, or have nightmares. When they persist past 30 days and the anxiety remains strong, Schnurr said there is a problem. But she said there’s hope.

有些人可能會(huì)沉浸在創(chuàng)傷事件的記憶中，難以入睡，或者噩夢(mèng)連連。施努爾表示，當(dāng)這種狀況持續(xù)30天之后依然有嚴(yán)重的焦慮反應(yīng)，就說(shuō)明其中有問(wèn)題，但也并非沒(méi)有希望。

Paula Schnurr: The first thing is that, not all soldiers have PTSD. Even soldiers and other military personnel who have problems readjusting to society, well that’s normal. And it can take some time. The second thing is that we have effective treatments.

寶拉·施努爾：首先，并不是所有的士兵都患有創(chuàng)傷后應(yīng)激障礙。即使一些軍人難以重新融入社會(huì)，這很正常，需要時(shí)間。另外，我們掌握著有效的治療方案。
