Post Covid Stress Disorder
Those who had severe Covid-19 symptoms have found themselves admitted to ICUs and receiving mechanical ventilation and would clearly expect to share the heightened risk of subsequently developing PTSD in the form of Post Covid Stress Disorder. However, it appears that Covid-19 patients are generally experiencing poorer mental health outcomes than might be expected regardless of the course their illness took or the treatment they received.
A study of Covid-19 patients in the UK by Imperial College London and the University of Southampton included over 13,000 patients with suspected and confirmed Covid-19 and a variety of outcomes. It found that mechanical ventilation was strongly correlated with subsequent symptoms of PTSD; but the UK study found a higher rate of patients, one-in-three, subsequently experienced those symptoms.
Although the UK sample was controlled to try to account for other external factors, if it were considering purely ventilated patients the difference might not be significant; the relevant numbers in both studies were small. However, the UK study found that regardless of treatment received patients reported key PTSD symptoms, the most common being intrusive images or flashbacks.
The proportion of those in the study who reported symptoms of PTSD included one-in-five of those admitted to hospital, but not ventilated, and one-in-six of those who simply received some medical treatment at home. Perhaps most interestingly one-in-ten of those who had Covid-19 but managed their symptoms without medical help or intervention also reported PTSD symptoms after their recovery.
Covid-19’s effect on mental health
There also seems to be an association between Covid-19 and other mental health problems. Initial research has suggested that one-in-five people with a positive Covid-19 test are diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, such as depression or anxiety, in the following three months, of those around one-in-sixteen for the first time.
A follow-up study, still in preprint, suggests an increased rate of neurological and psychiatric problems in the six months after an initial positive test.
Why this is the case is unclear, and as the studies highlight, it’s not impossible that the patients were more likely to contract Covid-19 as a result of behaviours associated with poor mental health, rather than developing poor mental health as a result of Covid-19. However, the apparent increase in other neurological conditions may suggest that Covid-19 is not purely a respiratory illness and adds to the evidence that it can have effects on other parts of the body, in this case the brain.
Non-Covid Stress Disorder
Poor mental health, including PTSD, is not limited just to those that have contracted Covid-19. The negative effects on mental health of the pandemic have been observed in people who, although they have not had the illness, have been exposed, in some way, to its effects.
Healthcare workers comprise the main part of this group, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, those working in ICUs are the most at risk. The Covid-19 pandemic put unprecedented pressure on ICUs and ICU staff, during peaks they were required to work beyond their usual capacity, in some places using makeshift ICUs with equipment being adapted to help them cope.
And while ICU staff may be used to death, the nature of death during the Covid-19 pandemic changed. With families unable to visit, farewells were said while staff held phones and tablets aloft and were unable to provide even simple comforts like a human touch. A study of nurses in China found that about one-in-six had PTSD following the exposure to Covid-19 patients.
There are several protective factors and stressors that will affect the likelihood of staff to suffer from PTSD symptoms, from the protection provided by simple job satisfaction to the stressors of having experienced loss to Covid-19 elsewhere or the strains of insufficient or inadequate PPE experienced by many early in the pandemic.
Perhaps the biggest stressor on healthcare staff was the moral injury. There is a correlation between moral injury — the feeling of responsibility, fault or failure — and PTSD. While entirely unjustified, Covid-19 provided lots of opportunities for healthcare staff to feel a moral injury, whether from the patient they were unable to save, being off work because of Covid-19 or symptoms, or having to make difficult decisions when resources were stretched.
There is even some evidence that there may be a population-wide exposure to stress as a result of the pandemic, a type of vicarious stress disorder. While this indirect exposure to trauma would not meet the strict diagnostic criteria for PTSD the effects on the wider population’s mental health has often been commented on. A survey by the CDC found that two in every five people had suffered an adverse mental health effect as a result of the pandemic. A quarter of these were trauma- or stressor-related.
Coping with Post-Covid Stress Disorder
Whether Post Covid Stress Disorder is a condition in its own right or just a particular presentation of PTSD it will require professional treatment. PTSD can respond well to treatments like therapy or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing,(E.M.D.R ) but untreated can persist for years after the trauma.
In practice, many people are best trying to increase the known protective factors and decrease exposure to stressors associated with PTSD. This will mean ensuring there is adequate social support, security — both financial and physical — and good healthcare provision available. While healthcare workers should also have access to support at their workplace and access to PPE.
Unfortunately, when fighting a pandemic, these are the very things that are almost immediately removed. Policies designed to reduce transmission can cause social isolation and have economic effects putting people’s livelihoods at risk. And while healthcare workers have job security, the pressures caused by a pandemic can mean the system’s resources have to be prioritized for the patients rather than the staff.
Research is still ongoing, but the studies so far suggest that it’s reasonable to expect more will be discovered connecting Covid-19 with poor mental health and some form of post-Covid stress disorder. Just as the long-term physical impacts of Covid-19 are still unknown, we don’t know what the long-term mental health impacts will be. However, we can be confident not just that there will be some, but also that they will not be limited just to those who had the virus.

PTSD, Trauma, Phobias & High Anxiety Conditions
When a person encounters an event or situation which they perceive to be dangerous or threatening, their brain instantly focuses on the source of the threat and their body goes into survival mode, often known as the Fight or Flight Response. The additional physical and emotional energy created is used up as the situation passes and their body returns to normal once again. The person’s brain then processes what has happened by separating their emotional response from their physical experience and storing these in different areas of the brain, enabling them to make rational sense of the event. However, sometimes this separation process does not occur and when this happens, it can lead to phobia or trauma.

During a traumatic event, a person’s emotional response may be so extreme that the entire memory of the event becomes locked in the emotional centres of the brain, ready to re-activate whenever they encounter a similar situation which resembles the original event. Instead of being processed by the Hippocampus (the area of the brain which gives an event context) and then being transferred to the Neocortex (the area of the brain where memories are stored), the event remains trapped in the Amygdala; the part of the brain responsible for the fight or flight response. Although the original event may have happened some time ago, it feels as though it is happening very much in the present and this is often true for people who may be experiencing phobias. fears and PTSD.
The Rewind Technique
Based on a Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) technique from the 1970s called Visual-Kinaesthetic (VK) Dissociation or the Fast Phobia Cure, the Rewind Technique is a non-intrusive, safe and effective therapy designed to help people who are experiencing phobias, trauma or PTSD. The name comes from the way in which the person is asked to use their imagination to ‘rewind’ the memory of the traumatic events. Rewind Therapy works by allowing the person to reprocess the traumatic memory so that the emotional information is disconnected from the actual event, therefore enabling the person’s brain to re-code the information and release the anxiety. The memory is moved from the Amygdala to the Neocortex, allowing the memory to be transformed from traumatic, to ordinary and non-threatening.

Benefits of Rewind Therapy
One of the real benefits of Rewind Therapy is that a person does not need to reveal every detail of the traumatic event(s) in order for the therapist to work with them. This means that they do not have to re-experience the events that have caused the phobia or traumatic symptoms. In therapy we use the Rewind Technique in combination with hypnosis, as this allows a person to enter a deeply relaxed trance state where they can calmly reprocess memories and experiences.

Sleep Issues and Covid
Acute insomnia is a sudden onset of insomnia symptoms, usually in response to a disruptive, stressful life event. Short-term insomnia happens throughout our individual lives. A job loss, a relationship strain, an illness in the family—something unexpected happens and suddenly you can’t sleep. There’s scientific evidence that large-scale events—things like earthquakes and wildfires–create spikes in acute, or short-term, insomnia in affected populations. For the first time in our lifetimes, the large-scale covid crisis has increased sleep and insomnia issues to everyone around the world.
A number of studies found high rates of insomnia in response to the early days and weeks of the pandemic, including a large-scale study in China, which found that at least 20% of participants met clinical criteria for insomnia. When scientists compared pandemic insomnia rates to pre-pandemic rates, they found the prevalence of clinical insomnia had increased by 37%.
Under any circumstances, acute insomnia often evolves into chronic insomnia. Acute insomnia typically resolves over a period of days or weeks. Chronic insomnia lasts for three months or more, with insomnia symptoms appearing several nights a week, week after week. Estimates suggest that roughly 50% of people with insomnia experience symptoms for a year or more.
Chronic insomnia raises risks for long-term health and functioning, including heart disease and metabolic disorders like diabetes, as well as depression and cognitive decline.
If your sleep is disrupted, if you’re routinely having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, if you’re waking early and feeling unrefreshed by your sleep, you’re experiencing the symptoms of chronic insomnia.
Acknowledging your sleep issues is the first critical step to improving your long-term health. There are a number of ways insomnia can negatively impact your health, but the one thing is how important quality sleep is—especially during this pandemic.
People who get 6 hours of sleep or less each night are 4.2 times more likely to catch a cold than those who get 7 hours or more. In other words: Not sleeping isn’t doing your immune system any favours

Sleep issues and insomnia.
The National Sleep Foundation explains that insomnia can be a response to a medical condition or a result of mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety. Poor sleep hygiene, chronic pain, certain medications, lifestyle habits, and allergies can also contribute. Often insomnia and sleep disruptions may start as a result of a few bad nights sleep and create the "fear of the fear" of not sleeping, which then becomes an associative pattern .
Recent research shows that both acute and chronic insomnia respond positively to hypnotherapy. In one study, hypnotherapy was considered more effective than other techniques in helping participants fall asleep. The benefits of hypnotherapy include identifying destructive thought patterns, finding the reason for one’s insomnia, and a deeper, more restorative night sleep.
Hypnotherapy for sleep can allow you to break free from sleep disturbance / medications and there ongoing side effects and return to natural, revitalising sleep patterns .

Binge Eating
Binge eating is different from having a little too much food at mealtimes.
There is a distinct, compulsive state of mind when binge occurs. Fixating on the food ,at that moment the consequences don't matter, excessively binging on whatever food is typically binged on or anything that is available in the absence of this food type.
There may be a few moments of pleasure in those first
mouthfuls, but as that zoned out /trance states continues , the taste , quantity and enjoyment becomes insignificant.
Feelings of shame, regret ,guilt and out of control quickly follow the binge episode and contribute to that negative mindset for the next binge episode in the future to escape these feelings.
The secretiveness - purchasing and sneaking food in, the anticipation and opportunity to binge in secret are contributors to being trapped in the binge cycle.
So what is going on here ? Why binge ? Why this compulsive pattern and altered state of consciousness when binging ?
Some areas of life may be unsatisfying or difficult, maybe work ,home life or relationships, control, internal negative beliefs or simply escaping unpleasant thoughts and feelings- even though binge makes everything in the long term worse .
Call Stuart -07825 599340 to discuss how a few sessions of therapy can identify and resolve binging issues and allow you to address your work-life and emotional balance better .
