Can a visit to e.r. be traumatic? had some anxiety problems ever since. working with counselor and do not want meds. can scary event trigger anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Traumatic events: Can happen anywhere. What happens in an er may be traumatic 2 one person and not 2 someone else., even 4 similar injuries following the same traumatic event. Whether someone develops ptsd or severe anxiety in response 2 an event depends on previous life experiences and emotional health before the event. In therapy you will need 2 address not only the event which sent u 2 the er but earlier events.
