Sleep disturbances and their relation with posttraumatic stress and general psychological distress were examined after the 2013 Super Typhoon Haiyan. Sleep disturbances were hypothesized to be associated with posttraumatic stress and general psychological distress in two samples of survivors across two time points (N = 361) in the Philippines. Sample 1 (n = 223) and Sample 2 (n = 138) were collected 18 months and 30 months after the storm, respectively. Results from structural regression modeling indicated that insomnia was associated with both posttraumatic stress and general psychological distress. Poor sleep quality was associated with posttraumatic stress but not with general psychological distress. Findings underscore the longer-term relationship between sleep disturbances and overall sleep quality to posttraumatic stress in the context of a natural disaster. Implications for public mental health interventions in disaster settings are discussed.

Arterial stiffness is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Although estradiol (E2) is known to be cardioprotective, the available data point to a growing cardiovascular disease risk in women before menopause due to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The present study aimed to investigate the effects of E2 on arterial compliance in trauma-exposed premenopausal women, with and without a clinical diagnosis PTSD.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing traumatic events, such as death, serious injury, or threats to oneself or others. Affecting 5-10 % of the population, PTSD is often underreported due to the reluctance of individuals to disclose personal traumatic experiences. This study explore the effectiveness of a digital (electronic mental health and psychosocial support) and psychologist-led intervention in mitigating PTSD symptoms.

Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects 3.9% of the general population. While massed cognitive processing therapy (CPT) has demonstrated efficacy in treating chronic PTSD, a substantial proportion of patients still continue to meet PTSD criteria after treatment, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic approaches.

Individuals often actively suppress intrusive memories to alleviate the distress they cause and maintain mental well-being. However, those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often exhibit difficulties particularly in inhibiting or suppressing negative memories compared to individuals without PTSD. These memories can involve a physical threat either to the individual themselves or to others.
