Introduction: Post traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a neuropsychiatric pathology. It is characterized by the fact that the subject has been exposed to stressful situations which have caused them physical, emotional and mental instability in different aspects of their daily life. The subjects diagnosed with PTSD show a clinical picture of severe depression which is related to a deficit in their neurocognitive functioning, especifically in memory tasks (operative memory and inmediate verbal memory) and in executive functions (semantic verbal fluency, inhibition, planning and control of their immediate conduct). Objective: To indentify the influence of depression on memory and the executive functioning in patients with PTSD who are victims of the army conflict in Colombia. Methodology: Participants: 50 people diagnosed with PTDS, depression, and without dementia (35 men and 15 women) participated in this study. The individuals were enlisted from the unit of victims affiliated with the municipality of Palmira, Valle del Cauca, Colombia in a period of time from 2015 through 2017, and a control group of 50 healthy subjects with the objective to compare the results and be able to establish differences and intra-group robust results. Results: Individuals with PTSD show a higher depressive symptomatology than the ones in the control group. It was found that depression is related to the deficit in the immediate verbal memory, operative memory, and the executive functions in subjects with PTSD victims of the army conflict in Colombia.Conclusion: It is necessary to make plans for functional neurorehabilitation for individuals diagnosed
with PTSD in order to improve their quality of life and to slow down their clinical picture to a posttraumatic
dementia diagnose. The government needs to create mental health policies designed to
counteract this neuropsychiatric pathology ;our main goal ,and the neurocognitive functioning,
neurobehavioral/emotional, individual, and family neurorehabilitation of people with PTSD victims of
the army conflict in Colombia, thus preventing clinical pictures of post-traumatic alexithymia.
Ugonjwa wa Mkazo wa Baada ya Mshtuko (PTSD) ni ugonjwa wa neuropsychiatric. Ni sifa ya ukweli kwamba mtu amewekwa katika hali ya mkazo ambayo imesababisha kutokuwa na utulivu wa kimwili, kihisia na kiakili katika nyanja tofauti za maisha yao ya kila siku. Watu waliogunduliwa na PTSD wanaonyesha picha ya kliniki ya unyogovu mkali ambao unahusiana na upungufu katika utendaji wao wa neurocognitive, haswa katika kazi za kumbukumbu (kumbukumbu ya uendeshaji na kumbukumbu ya maneno ya haraka) na katika kazi za mtendaji (usemi wa maneno ya haraka, kuzuia, kupanga na kudhibiti mwenendo wao wa haraka). Lengo: Kuamua athari za unyogovu kwenye kumbukumbu na utendaji wa mtendaji kwa wagonjwa wenye PTSD ambao ni waathirika wa mgogoro wa jeshi nchini Colombia. Katika utafiti huo, watu 50 waliopatikana na ugonjwa wa PTSD, kushuka moyo, na bila dementia (wanaume 35 na wanawake 15), walishiriki. Watu hao walichaguliwa kutoka kwa kitengo cha wahasiriwa cha manispaa ya Palmira, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, katika kipindi cha wakati kutoka 2015 hadi 2017, na kikundi cha kudhibiti cha watu 50 wenye afya, na lengo la kulinganisha matokeo na kuweza kuanzisha tofauti na matokeo ya ndani ya kikundi. Watu walio na PTSD wana dalili za kushuka moyo kuliko wale walio katika kikundi cha kudhibiti. "Kulipatikana kwamba unyogovu unahusiana na upungufu katika kumbukumbu ya maneno ya haraka, kumbukumbu ya uendeshaji, na kazi za mtendaji katika masomo ya watu walio na PTSD, waathirika wa mgogoro wa jeshi nchini Colombia. ""Ni muhimu kufanya mipango ya neurorehabilitation ya kazi kwa watu waliogunduliwa na PTSD ili kuboresha ubora wa maisha na kupunguza picha yao ya kliniki kwa utambuzi wa dementia ya baada ya majeraha." Serikali inahitaji kuunda sera za afya ya akili iliyoundwa kukabiliana na ugonjwa huu wa neuropsychiatric; lengo letu kuu ni utendaji wa neurocognitive, neurobehavioral-emotional, mtu binafsi, na familia neurorehabilitation ya watu wenye PTSD waathirika wa mgogoro wa jeshi nchini Colombia, hivyo kuzuia picha za kliniki za alexithymia ya baada ya majeraha.
