(D)resistance請依下文回答第56 題至第60 題：More often, people have heard about PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) in the context of war, withcombat -exposed veterans. While combat veterans often return to the normality of the civilian life afterdeployment, the job of firefighters, police officers and emergency medical services workers involvesregular, routine exposure to all types of traumas, for years and decades of their careers.Research shows that 20% of firefighters pass the diagnostic threshold for PTSD at some point in theircareer. The symptoms developed include frequent nightmares, flashbacks, avoiding reminders of traumaand being easily startled. Depression, anxiety, and substance use are the consequences caused bycumulative trauma exposure.The problem-solving and “being in charge” work attitude that is a strength of firefighters can sometimesbecome a barrier in seeking help, as they might see vulnerability as a sign of failure. It is often heard fromfirefighters the feeling of shame and worries that others might see them as weak for sharing and discussingthe traumatic experience they have being through. Consequently, firefighters’ tough work ceases to be theconversation topic at their family dinner table.Left unaddressed, trauma and chronic stress can lead to not only mental health consequences but alsophysical illness. Fortunately, serious efforts are being made to spread awareness and fight stigma relatedto mental health. A variety of programs are launched to fight stigma by explaining the mechanisms oftrauma and stress in the body and brain. This approach can also reframe these traumatic experiences asvulnerability rather than weakness. The “don’t quit” mentality of firefighters can be shifted towardencouraging fighting the mental health consequences of trauma, instead of avoiding and denying it.✕ 你選的
