| Abstract | ||
| Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental disorder occurring after exposure to trauma or a life threatening events and has significant sequelae like bad physical health, serious mental comorbidities, poor life quality, and early mortality. Individuals present with persistent “remembering/reliving” of the stressor as intrusive flash backs, recurring dreams, or vivid memories. “Psychosis” indicates a clinically significant syndrome characterized by delusions, perceptual abnormalities and a gross abnormalities in personality and identity of a person. Acute and transient psychotic disorders (ATPDs) in the ICD-10 Classification is corresponding to “brief psychotic disorder” (BPD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) with diagnostic criteria of sudden onset of florid psychotic symptoms and grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior for less than 1 month. These symptoms are strongly distressing for the patient as well as psychosis treatment may include involuntary hospital admission, enforced sedation, separation from family and also employment loss, all known to be stressful to patients. Bipolar disorders also known as a set of severe disorders which defined as the presence of a manic or a hypomanic episode and a major depressive episode. There is greater evidence suggests a notable link between Bipolar Disorder (BD,) trauma and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Hypomanic, manic or mixed mood conditions have been recognized at the time of trauma exposure as a risk factor to PTSD development and also on the PTSD onset and maintenance. | ||
