Recognizing the Signs of Psychological Trauma
It can be difficult to differentiate between the normal emotional response to a motorcycle accident and the signs of psychological trauma. Nobody would question one’s anger at the negligent driver who caused the crash, nor one’s fear of riding a motorcycle again. Yet there are several things to be on the lookout for which may suggest that deeper issues are present and indicate that an accident victim has sustained psychological trauma:
- Sleep difficulties, including frequent insomnia and nightmares
- Persistent periods of elevated heart rate
- Physical aching or pain that has no discernible cause
- Lingering fatigue
- Violent and sudden shifts in temperament
- A sense of isolation
