PTSD interpersonal violence in posttraumatic women brain networks triggered by trauma-related pictures

In this Assignment, you will analyze the biological basis for PTSD and the treatments associated.
To prepare for this Assignment:

“Interpersonal violence in posttraumatic women: brain networks triggered by trauma-related pictures”

• Review emotions, stress, and health in the textbook and Learning Resources, paying special attention to the brain areas involved in negative emotions (e.g., anger, sadness, and fear) and how the brain changes in response to extreme stressors.
• Review the National Institute of Health site devoted to PTSD found in the Learning Resources.
• What is the biological basis of PTSD? What occurs in the brain and nervous system that apparently gives rise to PTSD symptoms?
• How is PTSD diagnosed, according to the DSM–5? Does this relate to the biological basis that you just described?
• Describe the treatment options that are available for PTSD. Do they seem to address the biological basis of the disorder, as you have described them?
• Summarize your article about the biological basis of PTSD in enough detail that your reader will understand what was done in the study and what the results of the study were (similar to the articles you found in BioPsychology.com in the first week).
• Based on the article you identified as well as the other reading you have done this week, describe a test you could develop to help determine whether a particular individual might be more susceptible to developing PTSD if they were to experience an extremely stressful situation.
Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You should include in-text citations in the body of your Assignment as well as complete references in APA format at the end of your Assignment.
