PTSD Symptoms: What Every Deepwater Horizon Survivor Needs to Know
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that is most commonly associated with war veterans and crime victims, as it is brought on by a traumatic event. However, this condition affects more than just these two groups. If you or your family member survived the Deepwater Horizon explosion, you need to become familiar with the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder.
Warning Signs of PTSD Not everyone realizes the significance of PTSD or its immense impact on the victim’s life. If you are suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder following the rig explosion, you may experience some of the following symptoms:
Flashbacks of the event
Nightmares
Not talking about the incident
Trouble keeping close relationships
Feeling angry or irritable
Sleep problems
Feeling hopeless about the future
Becoming startled or frightened easily
Memory difficulties
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Can Be Serious It is often easy to ignore a condition that does not impact you physically, but PTSD can be very serious. Counseling and therapy may be needed to help overcome the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and to get back to a normal life.
As a Deepwater Horizon rig survivor, you may be able to recover compensation for the damages associated with posttraumatic stress disorder. There is protection available under federal maritime law.
