Maria in KI podcast Medicinvetarna

In the latest episode of KI’s podcast Medicinvetarna, Maria Bragesjö talks about her area of expertise post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

In the episode, she explains the difference between trauma as used in everyday speech and PTSD as a psychiatric diagnosis. Trauma in PTSD means that the person has been exposed to a threat, violence or accident that has caused fear for their life. In addition, the diagnosis includes criteria such as re-experiencing, avoidance and increased vigilance.
