The Curse of Two Languages
Chapter 69: Post Trauma
Sarah's world seems to collapse when she gets news from Raymond about Clara's current condition. Angelo, Diamond, and Nicolas rush to the hospital to see Clara's condition.
"Miss Clara not only remembers her past events, but also .." The doctor who examined Clara handed Angelo a piece of paper examining Clara.
"But what too?" Angelo read the paper carefully. He laughed after reading the diagnosis given by the doctor named Araide, "PTSD?"
"PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) or post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental disorder that arises after a person experiences or witnesses unpleasant events.
PTSD is an anxiety disorder that makes sufferers remember traumatic events. Traumatic events that can trigger PTSD include war, accidents, natural disasters, and sexual abuse. And I think Miss Clara has been violent." Clearly Dr. Araide was confident.
"BDSD symptoms appear after a person experiences a traumatic event. The time of occurrence can be several months or several years after the traumatic event. The severity and duration of symptoms also vary in each patient.
Some symptoms that indicate someone has PTSD are:
Memory of traumatic events
Tendency to avoid
Negative thoughts and thoughts
Changes in behavior and emotions "
Angelo nibbled his temple. She is quite shocked to face the fact that Clara has recalled her past, and now doctors tell her that Clara has PTSD. Why is it that after she has been traumatized she still has to observe post-trauma?
Angelo walked out of Doctor Araide's room after saying thanks. He walked up to Maria who was looking at Clara's condition from the window and told her everything.
Maria instantly went limp. Why did her daughter have to go through all this?
In the past, after Clara suffered physical torture tragically, she had experienced a very deep psychological trauma.
Psychological trauma is common to someone who has experienced a very sad, frightening, or life-threatening event. Psychological trauma can sometimes heal on its own over time.
A person who experiences a traumatic event usually feels prolonged shock, fear, sadness, and anxiety. Each person's reaction will be different when faced with a traumatic event, even though the things experienced are similar.
Clara also experienced it. The little girl tends to feel prolonged shock, fear, sadness, and anxiety. His family who saw it became unbearable. And agree to the doctor's advice to do a kind of memory remover therapy.
Now, when Clara is post-traumatized, what else should be eliminated?
It seems like before, this time Clara also experienced various kinds of treatment.
PTSD treatment aims to relieve a patient's emotional response and teach the patient how to control themselves well when reminded of a traumatic event. The treatment methods carried out include:
Psychotherapies
Psychotherapy is the first option in treating PTSD. If the symptoms experienced by the patient are severe, the doctor will combine psychotherapy and drugs.
Psychotherapy can be done individually or in groups with other PTSD patients. There are several types of psychotherapy that are usually used to treat PTSD, namely:
• cognitive behavioral therapy, to recognize and change the patient's negative mindset to positive.
• exposure therapy, to help patients deal with trauma-inducing circumstances and memories effectively.
Medicines
Your doctor will prescribe medications to treat PTSD symptoms. The drug given depends on the symptoms experienced by the patient, among others:
• antidepressants, to cope with depression, such as sertraline and paroxetine.
• Anticemas, to overcome anxiety.
• Prazosin, to prevent nightmares.
The doctor will increase the dose of the drug when it is not effective in overcoming symptoms. However, if proven effective, the drugs will continue to be given for at least 1 year. Then, the treatment will be stopped gradually.
"You're patient, baby? It may weigh us all, but surely we can get through it well." Sarah said as she stroked Clara's hair affectionately.
After fainting for several hours, Clara finally regained her senses and became a dimwitted girl. Clara looked at her mother blankly. He remembered everything and was even able to communicate in English again.
Clara remembers seeing princess Esmeralda in her subconscious during her fainting.

"So you remember English, huh?" Princess Clarissa asked the princess Esmeralda, who had also been cursed by an evil witch.
Princess Esmeralda nodded. "Finally the curse was released and I was able to communicate with the black-haired prince again. But I still wonder why that witch had the heart to bewitch us both."
"I have no idea. It's just that I know the reason why that witch bewitched me." Princess Clarissa. "In the past, my father and the witch Lalitha had an affair. But unfortunately their relationship ran aground halfway because my father fell in love with my mother."
"The sorceress Lalitha who couldn't accept being dumped just like that finally approved one of my uncles who fell in love with her. He wants to use my uncle to avenge his father and mother. But for some reason the effects are dropping on me Until I became unable to talk to them because to the influence of the curse. And lucky the curse was released after I spoke the same language as the prince."
Princess Clarissa looked at princess Esmeralda's face with a deep smile, "And I think the witch Lalitha is jealous of your relationship with the prince. That's why he cursed you too."
"I think so." Princess Esmeralda.

flashback -- Flashback off ---
---------------------
What Clara experienced both in the human world and in other worlds in her Mummy serian book is not much different.
Angelo was once in a relationship with Jessica. But unfortunately the relationship between the two was forced to run aground in the middle of the road because Angelo fell in love with Sarah.
Jessica who does not accept being dumped for the sake of other women intends to destroy the happiness of Angelo and Sarah by approaching Nicolas who is in love with her.
Complicated emang. Especially with the fact that Diamond was also in love with Sarah who has now become her brother-in-law.
If you can be honest, Nicolas actually became the main cause of Clara's suffering. The man is blinded by a love for Jessica who has evil intentions for her own family even though Angelo once told her who Jessica really is. Even the relationship between Angelo and Nicolas brotherhood has experienced problems just because of Jessica.
But yeah, that's it. It's all gone. There's no point in being questioned anymore. The rice has gone porridge and everything will be fine.
