Interview with Dr. Matthew Tull

by Rich Presta on March 9, 2010

Most everyone has heard of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).  You know, the disorder that combat veterans come home with after the war…

See, that’s the problem.  Everyone associates PTSD with combat, and it certainly is seen with war vets, but it can also be caused by many other traumatic events like abuse, natural disaster, or motor vehicle accidents.

It’s important that you receive the proper care and treatment for PTSD if you have it, but it’s often confused (even by therapists) with other anxiety disorders and vice versa.

I asked Dr. Matthew Tull to speak to me, who is the guide to PTSD for the popular website About, as well as the director of anxiety disorders at the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. I asked him to take a few moments so he can give you an overview of what post traumatic stress disorder is, as well as the role it can play with anxiety and specific fears such as the fear of driving, flying, and others.
