Some people who were at the scene of the explosions will undoubtedly develop post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD. But PTSD is not the only response to frightening events. In fact, most people exposed to a trauma do not develop this condition. They may develop an anxiety disorder, for example, or become depressed. Most people do have some emotional response, but the majority develops no illness at all. PTSD can be triggered by any traumatic experience that involves a significant threat—or reality—of death, serious injury, or damage to physical integrity.
Or by an event, like this one, that inspires intense fear, helplessness, or horror. A person may experience the event directly, witness it, or be confronted with it in some other way. Whether it is PTSD or not, the sooner symptoms are confronted, the easier it is to overcome them.
Individuals with PTSD become irritable, easily startled, and constantly on guard. They sleep poorly and have difficulty concentrating. Re-experiencing or intrusion. The traumatic event involuntarily pops up in the mind as vivid memories, nightmares, or flashbacks.
A person with PTSD may feel or act as though the traumatic event is happening again. Any object, situation, or feeling that reminds the person of the trauma can cause intense distress. Avoidance and emotional numbing. Individuals with PTSD try to avoid feelings, thoughts, persons, places, and situations that evoke memories of the trauma. They lose interest in their usual activities. They feel estranged from other people and even from their own feelings.
A mental health professional should be able to review symptoms to help make a judgment whether or not PTSD is the central problem. Some clouds early will give way to generally clear conditions overnight. Low around 35F. Winds light and variable. Updated: November 12, am. The three liberal justices asked tough questions of the government but it seemed unlikely that the conservatives shared their concerns.
No federal inmates had been executed for 17 years before Trump oversaw 13 executions in the last six months of his term. The primary source of the evidence, a man named Ibragim Todashev, was killed by an FBI agent when he attacked them during an interview. Justice Samuel Alito said if evidence of the triple murder were admitted there effectively would have to be a trial within a trial to determine what happened. The liberal justices, led by Justice Elena Kagan, pushed back.
Whatever the Supreme Court decides in a ruling due by the end of June, Tsarnaev would at a minimum remain in prison for the rest of his life. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died after a gunfight with police. Jurors convicted Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on all 30 counts he faced and determined he deserved execution for a bomb he planted that killed Martin Richard, 8, and Boston University Chinese exchange student Lingzi Lu, Restaurant manager Krystle Campbell, 29, was killed by the second bomb.
Sorry , an error occurred. Get Started. Five years later, Steve and Leo Woolfenden have shown a resilience and strength that has surprised even them.
Steve has gotten back into skiing, as part of the Adaptive Sports Program at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital — a place where he had spent countless hours and days learning to just walk again on a prosthetic leg.
That prosthesis also hasn't stopped him from mountain biking on the weekends with his friend, Michael Digris. In fact, Digris has been so inspired by Woolfenden's ability to overcome his disability, he's running the marathon for Spaulding's Adaptive Sports Program with Steve and Leo's number.
That's because about five years ago, Digris' family was touched by Spaulding, too. It was a huge development. There was video footage that could answer that question and lead to a second suspect, but at the time, the FBI didn't know it. A frequent target of lawsuits, the owners said they had made sure there was a video record of everything that happened inside and outside of the popular bar.
But because the area was closed off to everyone, she could not get to the bar to turn off the machine. Finally, she got through to Boston police headquarters where Lt. Late that day at Massachusetts General Hospital, marathon spectator Jeff Bauman regained consciousness and realized one of his legs had been amputated. He said he clearly remembered an encounter with a man in a black hat who bumped into him seconds before the bomb blast.
As night fell Tuesday, the FBI believed they had grainy footage potentially showing two suspects, but they didn't know much more than that and they knew they were running out of time to track the attackers down.
