Hello this is my sandbox page! I am learning how this works and practicing a bunch of things. Hopefully I won't make too many mistakes!

hello this is a test to familiarize myself with using sandbox

Lets start writing about a topic

'''bold'''

being bold is important on wikipedia

Notes

  -I plan to change the “subsets” section and instead rename it “physiological mechanisms” -I plan to research whether mindfulness has shown to be effective for ASR -I plan to research whether medications have shown to be effective for treating ASR -I plan to improve the readability of the section titled “diagnosis” -I plan to add more about PTSD and give more examples of why scenarios as to why people can develop it Nhose711 (talk) 04:35, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Additional notes for improvement:

-reference 1 needs an update, the page number is missing and the “on-line” link is not a reliable source -reference 3 has a link at the end ”lay summary”, which is not a reliable source -reference 5 is a link that is not a reliable source, the website is full of ads

Change "contents" to this outline: Introduction -definition -cause -risk factors -pathophysiology

Diagnosis -symptoms -DSM4 (classification) -differential diagnosis

Management -treatment (CBT, counseling, meds)

prognosis -long term outlook -prevention Nhose711 (talk) 23:14, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

irrelevant information: mentioning the parasympathetic nervous system is not necessary, especially not in detail. Nhose711 (talk) 01:07, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Additions to my article (Acute Stress Reaction):

Background:

The term ASR was first used to describe the symptoms of soldiers during WW1 and 2, and it was therefore also termed combat stress reaction (CSR). Approximately 20 % of U.S. troops displayed symptoms of CSR during WW2, and it was assumed to be a temporary response of healthy individuals to witnessing or experiencing traumatic events. Symptoms include depression, anxiety, withdrawal, confusion, paranoia and sympathetic hyperactivity.

The APA officially included the term ASD in the DSM-IV in 1994, and prior to that, symptomatic individuals within the first month of trauma were diagnosed with adjustment disorder.

The DSM-IV specifies that ASD must be accompanied by the presence of dissociative symptoms, which largely differentiates it from PTSD.

Dissociative symptoms include a sense of numbing or detachment from emotional reactions, a sense of physical detachment, such as seeing oneself from another perspective, decreased awareness of one’s surroundings, the perception that one’s environment is unreal or dreamlike, and the inability to recall critical aspects of the traumatic event (dissociative amnesia).
