Review of The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Fallacy
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Fallacy" by H. Nattanya Andersen.]
Many people have witnessed terrifying events that have caused them to develop post-traumatic stress disorder. Having stable mental health is critical because failing to do so can lead to other life-threatening diseases or death. The question is how we cope to maintain our mental health. The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Fallacy, written by H. Nattanya Andersen, is a book about the author's life experiences and her journey to overcome PTSD through any means possible.
Nattanya worked for North American Airways as a flight attendant. She narrowly escapes death after a Boeing 727 engine explodes five feet away from her. The traumatic event drives her insane, leaving her with many unanswered questions and stress that nearly killed her. Nattanya was diagnosed with PTSD on multiple occasions. She discusses the various paths she took to overcome her trauma. She also exposes lies that many doctors tell their patients, as well as facts about some pharmaceutical drugs that, when combined with antidepressants and marijuana, can cause serious negative side effects. Get this book to figure out what the author is trying to say.
I've read a lot of books about PTSD, but this one is unique because the author was a PTSD victim. When writing this book, the author was not having any fun. The traumatic event had a severe impact on her. I'm glad she shared so many thoughtful ideas and alternatives for PTSD sufferers. One point on which I strongly concur with the author is that recovering from PTSD is not solely about healing. Healing through various treatments will only make you feel safe for a short period; the main thing to do is rebuild your life to overcome isolation, a barrier that triggers PTSD. I have not been a PTSD patient, so I cannot relate to some of the alternative PTSD treatments, but I found many of the measures and advice to be very helpful. Another thing I liked was the author's tone, which was very instructive, and she tried to keep the readers interested with well-detailed facts supported by citations while also making them feel her emotions more strongly. I admire the author's courage and research in putting together this informative book.
In my opinion, this book has nothing to dislike. The book's cover was appropriate for the content. The color of the book initially led me to believe it was a crime thriller novel, but after reading it, I realized the color represents a soul searching for and attempting to escape its past traumas.
This book has a few grammatical errors. This shows that it was professionally edited. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because it is both instructive and helpful. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy self-help, memoirs, and health-related books.
