Anxiety can escalate to another level. When a person is exposed to traumatic or negative events where they feel little or no control in the outcome, the anxiety can turn into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you have enough recurring events in your life that are traumatic, you may even be diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD).

She can't sleep or stop crying.

The emotional trauma we suffer as children not only shapes our emotional lives as adults but also affects our physical health and overall well-being. Scientists now know on a biochemical level exactly how parents' chronic fights, divorce, death in the family, being bullied or hazed, and growing up with a hypercritical, alcoholic, or mentally ill parent can leave permanent, physical "fingerprints" on our brains.

This is not a satire, but it takes a satirical approach to shedding light upon a very dark subject: narcissistic abuse. It is intended to demonstrate to those struggling with codependency just how narcissists actually view them. By listening to their "play book", codependents should be able to recognize covert abuse and avoid its pernicious effects.

I wish someone would recommended me this book.
If you are going thru a situation dealing with a Love one with PTSD this is the right book to start understanding the situation you are in. The book is simple for a non healthcare professionals and at the same time with enough article citations for healthcare personnel that want to expand their knowledge.
I wish therapists would recommend this type of book to patients or caregivers and make the recovery process easier and faster for both sides. I wish that would have been my case when I had to deal with my love one diagnosed with PTSD. I went thru so much frustration before start looking for the reason of her behavior. After reading the book I felt I was equipped with the tools to assist her in the recovery process. I am disappointed her therapist never suggested to her or me.
Great book and very practical.
