10. Emotional Dampening
Another PTSD symptom that is usually connected to being emotionally unstable is emotional dampening. This particular indication is characterized by a strong and lasting feeling of gloomy, negative, or adverse emotions. It may involve being guilty and shameful over minor things as well as consistently blaming his or her self in certain instances.
Emotional dampening may result in depression as those who have it often feel alone and isolated even though they are not. Patients are also hard to reach out to since they are mostly distant and have trust issues. Make sure to seek a professional’s help when this symptom is noticed as it may progress to more serious mental health disorders.
