TIP
SHEET
Dealing with depression and
post-traumatic stress: Since the September 11 terrorist attack, an
increasing number of people have experienced depression and insomnia. Depression
occurs among 5 to 7 percent of the population even during the best of times.
Signs of depression to watch for in yourself and your loved ones include:
sadness that is difficult to shake, sleep disturbance, lack of energy and
appetite and inability to enjoy things/activities that you normally do. Another
common reaction is post traumatic stress reaction, whose symptoms include
anxiety, distractibility, flashbacks (continually thinking back or visualizing
the event (crash) and people's reactions to it), and sleep problems (dreaming
about the event, or not being able to sleep because of worry). Contact Dennis
Dyck, director of the Washington Institute for Mental Illness Research and
Training at WSU Spokane, 509.358.7618 or 509.299.4501, dyck@wsu.edu. This tip
