00:49 Hello, and welcome to "Health for a Lifetime."
00:51 I'm your host Don Mackintosh.
00:52 And today we're gonna talk about a serious,
00:54 but important subject, natural disasters
00:58 and their impact on us not just physically,
01:00 but our mental health and joining us in the sudid today
01:03 we talked about this is a psychiatrist,
01:06 who has been trained in both adult,
01:08 and now doing a fellowship in child
01:10 and adolescent psychiatry, Dr. Borge
01:15 and you're from Pittsburg, isn't that right? Yes.
01:17 And you got interested in psychiatry
01:20 and helping people in this way, how?
01:24 Well, you know, after recent natural disasters
01:27 going on with our country
01:28 and also overseas, I was wondering a what kind of
01:32 mental illnesses one can, you know,
01:35 expect and of course, so I was wondering
01:38 I would like to know more about this
01:40 and I was thinking of what I can do--
01:43 To help. To help.
01:44 So I got interested.
01:46 So this is, I mean, this is a large group
01:48 you're working with today,
01:49 I mean, you're gonna impact what the Lord's help.
01:52 A lot of people and hopefully give them,
01:54 you know, some inside and what, what's normal,
01:57 what's not normal, and what can really help them.
02:00 Absolutely, I mean, the goal is here
02:02 to educate the people, you know, I feel very sorry
02:05 for what people and families have gone through
02:08 and are going through, and what I'd like to do is,
02:10 you know, see how I can help by educating them.
02:13 By telling them of information
02:15 that can be helpful to them, so that they can,
02:18 you know, have better lives and be able to deal
02:22 wit the stressors in a much better way.
02:24 Now you and I have talked
02:26 in another program which of people interest
02:28 in that they can get it from 3ABN.
02:31 On children and the impact of natural disasters,
02:34 but we want to talk about adults
02:35 in this particular segment, but first of all
02:39 we want to define what a traumatic
02:42 or natural disaster would be and then look at
02:45 some normal reactions,
02:46 and then look at some risk factors.
02:48 Before we then look more specifically at some specifics
02:52 so first of all, what is a definition
02:54 of the natural disaster or traumatic event?
02:57 Yeah, anybody who has gone our experienced event
03:01 or events after a natural disaster
03:05 is undergoes through what is called
03:08 a traumatic stress reaction.
03:11 And a traumatic stress reaction is the person
03:13 who has eye witnessed or experienced events
03:17 in which the physical and integrity of themselves
03:22 or others has been threatened
03:25 have experience what is called
03:27 a traumatic stress reaction, and--
03:32 Lots of people who go through that,
03:33 I mean, like medical workers,
03:35 emergency workers, fire workers.
03:37 Absolutely, and those people who are involved
03:41 in those areas where the stress and mortality
03:44 is high have also experience
03:47 what is we called trauma.
03:49 According to the American Psychological Association
03:52 approximately 70% of US adults have experienced
03:57 at least one traumatic event in their lifetime
04:01 and one in five gone to develop symptoms
04:04 of what we called posttraumatic stress disorder.
04:07 Would you consider seeing like I watched
04:11 when the Twin Towers felt, September 11,
04:14 is that a traumatic event?
04:16 Suppose to be me, it was if,
04:18 I saw people physically jumping out of windows
04:21 was that a trauma for the whole country?
04:23 would that count as one event?
04:24 Yes, absolutely, you know,
04:26 if you have witnessed or traumatic event
04:29 to that magnitude is definitely traumatic
04:32 but I think it depends on the individuals.
04:34 Some people who have witness
04:36 different types of trauma in their lifetime before,
04:39 maybe more resistant to developing trauma
04:41 after witnessing something like that
04:43 or as others who have not and who felt like probably,
04:47 you know, it is very safe to be in America
04:49 and safe to be in that, probably, in that area
04:53 and that nothing like this
04:54 would happen to them, to them it might be
04:56 very, very traumatic compare to someone else.
04:59 So, but definitely witnessing a traumatic event
05:04 where the integrity and a danger was involved
05:08 to the person or others also is,
05:13 a person can also go through what is called
05:15 a traumatic stress reaction.
05:16 So, I mean, living in Florida would be kind of
05:19 traumatic at this time, living in different places,
05:21 these or seeing it on television
05:24 all these things kind of add up, absolutely.
05:26 So this is very important to talk about
05:27 what are some normal reactions
05:29 to these traumatic, traumatic stressors.
05:32 Yes, and I think that's very important
05:34 to keep in mind that these are normal reactions.
05:38 Because after experiencing trauma to this extend
05:42 that you are expected to undergo
05:45 certain normal reactions.
05:47 For example, we can talk about emotional reactions
05:51 where you can have shock denial,
05:54 anger, resentment, can feel abandoned
05:57 or a strange from people, you can feel betrayed,
06:01 you can get, you can feel depressed. Or patriotic.
06:05 Yes, absolutely you can, you can feel patriotic also,
06:10 you can feel lot of psychological distress
06:14 you can have flashbacks of the event,
06:16 you can have nightmares, you can feel, you know,
06:20 have all these stressing images or memories,
06:24 you can have memory loss of the event,
06:27 you can have physical reactions to the trauma,
06:32 you can have chest pain or discomfort,
06:34 you can have abdominal pain or distress,
06:38 you can have physical tension, fatigue,
06:41 you can feel paresthesia or numbness of the extremities
06:46 you can have headaches.
06:48 So these are some of the physical symptoms for trauma.
06:52 Interpersonal situations or reactions that are normal.
06:55 These are normal by the way
06:56 what you're talking about.
06:58 Absolutely, interpersonal you can,
07:01 people can get more have difficulty
07:04 with their relationships with their spouses,
07:06 with their families, with their children,
07:09 they can get more aggie,
07:10 more irritable with their relationships
07:13 they can feel, like I said, betrayed,
07:15 they can feel abandoned, sometimes they can feel
07:18 like the responsibility over them is overwhelming,
07:23 especially for male figure,
07:25 who is the head of the household by feel that,
07:28 okay, this is so much that they have to
07:30 take care of and deal with, so they might feel
07:34 more anxious and more stressed out.
07:38 Spiritually I imagine some people angry with God
07:40 and some people would say, I don't know,
07:42 I don't have anything to do with God anymore
07:44 and some people get closer to God.
07:45 Absolutely, some people can look at this as,
07:48 God, where were You, where were You
07:49 when I lost my child, when I lost my spouse,
07:52 where were You, I did You let this happen to me
07:54 and they can requisitioning God over and over,
07:57 they can get very resentful with God,
07:59 they can get very angry,
08:00 they can lose their faith in God.
08:02 Whereas some people can look at it as sign
08:06 from God saying that they need to change
08:09 their lifestyle that they were living
08:10 and they might become more closure to God.
08:13 So those are normal reactions,
08:15 but let's quickly go through some of the risk factors
08:18 in other words, those are normal reactions
08:20 and those as they play out
08:23 are actually a healthy thing,
08:24 they're coping mechanism,
08:25 maybe you caught there, but what about risk factors,
08:29 what are some of the things
08:30 that are very, well, risk factors?
08:33 Yeah, some of the risk factors are like,
08:35 if you lose communication with your family,
08:38 with your neighborhood,
08:39 with the community that is a risk factor,
08:42 if there is property loss that's really--
08:45 That was really digging these hurricanes.
08:46 Absolutely, that's another risk factor,
08:49 if there is danger to yourself--
08:51 Fear of safety. Absolutely.
08:53 And if you see lot of destruction
08:56 or death around you, that's another risk factor.
08:59 If there is a history of previous trauma,
09:03 that's another risk factor.
09:05 If someone has medical condition that can,
09:09 it can worsen, and so you can have worsening
09:12 of medical or psychological conditions
09:15 and giving you a risk factor to get illnesses
09:20 or you could-- Divorce, job loss.
09:23 Absolutely, you can divorce and job losses
09:26 another stressor for developing trauma.
09:29 So all these are risk factors and, I mean,
09:31 they're devastating in and of themselves,
09:33 they're all made your events to just huge,
09:35 and I'm sure you see a lot of people
09:37 that are just dealing with one of those things,
09:39 but these are compound in international disaster.
09:42 Yes, absolutely.
09:44 Okay, well we, you know, we talked
09:45 in the previous program about children,
09:47 but now, you know,
09:48 we want to focus in this program more on adults
09:50 and there are some of these things
09:52 that adults were experienced that you mentioned
09:56 post-traumatic stress disorder,
09:58 major depression, and generalized anxiety disorder,
10:02 and let's just work through those.
10:03 What are those mean and then hopefully
10:07 what can we do about them,
10:08 post-traumatic stress disorder for us?
10:10 Yes, post-traumatic stress disorder
10:12 or what we call as PTSD is also when someone
10:16 has eye witnessed or experienced situations
10:21 or events in which they were threatened,
10:24 their life was threatened or injured,
10:28 and their reaction to that involved
10:31 severe helplessness or horror
10:34 is one of the thing which constitutes PTSD.
10:39 So helplessness or horror, this is not you seen,
10:41 it's actually experiencing for sure
10:43 Yes, yes. Okay.
10:44 And the person re-experiences these events
10:49 in couple of different ways,
10:50 they can have flashbacks about it,
10:53 they can have distress in thoughts or images,
10:55 they can have nightmares about this,
10:58 they can actually experience it
11:02 as if it were happening again,
11:04 so which we called reliving the traumatic experience
11:08 or they could develop sleep disturbances
11:13 related to this trauma.
11:16 And so that's, that is not a natural reaction,
11:20 it's actually something that they're gonna need
11:21 to have help getting through.
11:23 Yes, actually, see sometimes
11:28 you can have natural reactions, you know,
11:29 you can have nightmares, you can have flashbacks,
11:32 you can have images of the trauma again
11:37 as if you're re-experiencing them,
11:40 but when it becomes to the point where
11:43 it is going on for a longtime
11:45 and it is interfering with your social
11:48 and occupational functioning that's when like
11:52 natural normal reactions are not normal anymore,
11:56 that's when they go beyond that state--
11:59 For five years later they're still doing that or even.
12:01 Sure, some studies have shown PTSD
12:03 according like yours even up to
12:05 like 14 years after the event.
12:07 So what do they do for this? What would you do?
12:10 Someone comes in, how we help someone that's,
12:12 most people watch and they're going through them,
12:14 what do they do?
12:15 First of all, acknowledge that this is what's happening
12:18 just by what they've listen to now
12:20 and then what's the next step?
12:21 Absolutely, you know, I think very important
12:23 is to protect yourself, safety is first.
12:27 So, you know, get away from the situation
12:29 which you are in, which is unexpected
12:33 or you don't know what's going to happen next,
12:36 you need to get yourself or others
12:38 to a safe environment, that is very important.
12:41 Okay. Absolutely.
12:42 And then you need to protect yourself,
12:44 you need to protect yourself
12:45 from the natural, you know, the cold,
12:49 the weather that you're going through
12:52 get the proper nutrition, the food,
12:54 the clean water that you can have,
12:57 so you need to take care
12:59 of yourself in those aspects.
13:02 Basic ways and then what's next?
13:03 Absolutely, you need to get find out
13:06 what is going on in the community
13:07 with the resources around,
13:09 you need to find out where there is help,
13:11 you need to direct your families,
13:13 you need to tell, tell your families where,
13:15 you know, where you can meet or what,
13:17 what is the place that you can get together,
13:19 if something again happens, so you need to direct.
13:22 Put together plans. Absolutely, absolutely.
13:25 And so directing families and your loved ones
13:29 is important, so that one would know
13:31 where to come and where to meet up with,
13:33 in case, something happens again
13:35 or something is ongoing,
13:37 and then you'll need to, you need to connect
13:40 with the resources in the community
13:42 where they're giving the supplies
13:44 or where they're giving the food or the basic needs
13:46 or where there is information about,
13:48 where your loved one could be,
13:51 you know, you need to go and get involved with those
13:54 and inform the people, so that they can help you.
13:57 Instead they see someone like you?
14:01 Professional help is an important aspect.
14:05 After one experiences trauma,
14:07 if they're not feeling better after couple of weeks,
14:12 if they're not improving,
14:14 if their symptoms are not improving
14:15 or if they feel that they're not in control,
14:19 their things are getting out of control,
14:21 if they feel that it's important to speak
14:24 not necessarily a professional or a psychiatrist,
14:27 but you can start with maybe even your community,
14:30 you can start and speak with your friends
14:32 and express like what is going on
14:34 and see how others are feeling,
14:36 how they're reacting.
14:37 Sometimes it's helpful, especially mass disasters
14:40 when someone, when you speak to someone
14:43 and let them know how, what you're going through?
14:45 They're able to, you know, express
14:49 what they're going through tools,
14:50 so sometimes that might relieve your anxiety
14:53 or it might need to things better,
14:54 so that might not necessarily mean that
14:57 you and see a physiatrist.
14:59 So if you, if you talk with your family,
15:01 if you talk with the community,
15:03 sometimes if you think
15:04 you need a little bit more health,
15:06 if you talk to your clergy,
15:07 if you talk to some teachers, and you know,
15:09 I think social workers and people out there
15:11 are good at helping people and recognizing
15:15 when one needs more professional help.
15:18 So, for example, even talking to your primary care physician,
15:21 your physician can determine if you need
15:23 little bit more mental help
15:26 and then refer you to a psychiatrist.
15:29 When we comeback, we'll talk about
15:31 major depression, we'll talk about
15:32 these other things and how to relate to those.

15:38 and their impact on mental health.

16:44 Welcome back, we're talking with Dr. Manjula Borge,
16:49 she is a psychiatrist from Pittsburgh.
16:51 And she just has a real burden,
16:53 she's seeing the natural disasters,
16:54 she's seeing the problems that people are experiencing
16:56 and her heart has gone out.
16:57 She said, look, I want to share some information
17:00 that can be of help to those who are going
17:02 through natural disasters, and we appreciate that.
17:05 We're talking about the, you know, the adults
17:07 and we've talked about how to diagnose
17:10 whether it's a traumatic events,
17:12 which sometimes is a no brainer.
17:14 And then what are the normal responses,
17:16 what are some risk factors, and we were talking
17:18 about post traumatic stress disorder.
17:22 And you said, there's some other things are typical,
17:26 one of the things that happens is that people,
17:28 if you're diagnosing or trying to figure out if you have this,
17:32 is that you avoid family, you avoid these different things,
17:35 talk to me a little bit more about that.
17:37 And then tell us a little bit more
17:39 what to do if none of the things you've said
17:41 so far are working, you've said so far, look,
17:44 get in touch with your family and friends,
17:46 talk to those that are significantly able to
17:48 perhaps listen like social workers and others,
17:51 and your friends in the community.
17:52 You've said also to, you know,
17:55 make a plan if this happens again,
17:56 get out of the situation if you can,
17:59 but you also mentioned that there is avoidance
18:01 that goes on of these very things,
18:03 family, friends, and everything else.
18:05 So explain that to me and then
18:06 what do we do about it?
18:07 Well, in post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD,
18:11 a person can also have what is called avoidance,
18:14 where they avoid people, places, conversations
18:18 anything that reminds them of their trauma,
18:22 that is also one of the symptom,
18:24 so they're avoiding places, they,
18:27 probably they don't want to go to work,
18:29 maybe, sometimes they don't want to
18:31 be involved in the activities
18:33 that they used to be involved with or enjoy,
18:36 they try to avoid their relationships
18:39 or their family and this is the, this is the way
18:44 that they're, one of the symptoms that
18:46 they're going through with PTSD, okay.
18:50 Well, what one can do more than,
18:52 you know, connecting with family and resources
18:56 around them is once they get
18:58 to their mental health facility
18:59 and speak to a psychiatrist or a psychologist,
19:03 sometimes there are centers also, what is called,
19:05 centers for traumatic stress where they have treatment
19:11 for people who have been through trauma
19:13 that can be group therapy.
19:15 Sometimes it's important to, you know,
19:19 talk with people who have been through
19:20 the similar types of trauma,
19:22 I think that's very helpful for the person,
19:25 sometimes they can have individual therapy
19:27 with psychologist or psychiatrist
19:30 or some and depending on what their mental health
19:34 professional decides, sometimes they might need
19:36 also some medication to help you get through
19:40 these traumatic symptoms that you're going through,
19:44 these flashbacks, these reliving the experience,
19:47 this anxiety, this fear, this feeling of numbness.
19:50 So sometimes you might need some medications
19:54 also and that, that depends
19:55 on the mental health professional,
19:57 once they diagnose you.
19:59 But, you know, it's very important to go ahead
20:02 and get involved with
20:04 the different resources out there.
20:07 Now there is other things that you've said
20:09 can happen in a natural disasters,
20:11 you've said major depression is another thing
20:12 and a generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorders,
20:17 and specific phobias, let's go through
20:21 those rather rapidly because I want to then see
20:23 what you would do, I think there's probably common ways
20:26 to treat all of those.
20:28 So let's go through them very rapidly to define
20:31 what they are and then we have about seven minutes,
20:33 we want to use at least five of those
20:35 to talk about what to do.
20:36 So let's go quickly through the,
20:38 first of all, major depression.
20:39 Yeah, a person who has been through
20:41 or going through what is called major depression
20:43 is experiencing symptoms for a period of two weeks
20:47 or more where they experience depressed mood,
20:50 difficulty with sleeping, that is falling asleep
20:54 or staying asleep.
20:56 They have, they lose interest in things
21:00 that they used to do before,
21:01 they also have problems concentrating,
21:04 their energy is low, and they feel sluggish,
21:09 their appetite maybe decreased
21:12 or maybe sometimes increased.
21:14 Some people have increased appetite,
21:16 they feel guilty about what has happened
21:20 and what is going on or their reactions
21:22 to what has happened.
21:24 Sometimes there is psychomotor retardation
21:27 or agitation what we call is a person
21:30 is a little bit more irritable
21:31 when they're psychomotor agitated,
21:33 and retardation is where they're kind of more...
21:35 Sluggish. Exactly, sluggish.
21:37 And then sometimes they can have
21:40 suicidal thoughts. Okay. That's--
21:43 So this would be of all those things are happening
21:45 like you think maybe this is a major depression.
21:48 What about generalized anxiety?
21:50 Generalized anxiety is when, you know,
21:53 there's typical what we talked about normal anxiety,
21:57 certain amount of anxiety after a natural disaster,
22:00 whereas generalized anxiety disorder is kind of
22:03 more in areas of not just necessarily in areas
22:09 that you know you get feel stressed out
22:12 or traumatized about, it is even in other areas
22:16 where probably you were doing functioning normally,
22:19 okay, that you have excessive anxiety
22:22 where it is, where the person recognizes that
22:25 this is excessive and this is,
22:28 this is unreasonable amount of anxiety.
22:32 They were never like this, sort of like the Bible says,
22:33 "Men's hearts failing them for fear."
22:34 Yes, and then they find it also difficult to control
22:38 this worry or anxiety that they're experiencing.
22:40 And they can go again through physical symptoms involved
22:44 with this generalized anxiety disorder
22:46 or psychological symptoms, you know,
22:49 a lot of symptoms and then this has to be
22:52 for a period of, you know, longer period of time.
22:55 Okay, panic disorders and specific phobias
22:59 and we're already to our five minutes,
23:01 so very briefly on this and then,
23:02 let's spend at least four minutes talking
23:05 about the treatment.
23:06 Sure, panic disorders is to discuss
23:11 what are panic disorders, we have to discuss
23:12 what panic attack is and very briefly panic attack
23:15 is a discreet amount of period of intense fear
23:20 or anxiety, in which symptoms are expressed
23:25 in a period of 10 minutes or less.
23:28 And some of the symptoms you can have
23:30 in panic and attack is where you feel like
23:33 you're getting chest pains or you know,
23:35 heart throbbing or feel of choking or feel
23:38 of the sensation of nausea, you get probably headaches
23:42 and like I said again, paresthesias
23:44 or a lot of physical complaints and panic attack.
23:49 So now panic disorder is
23:51 recurrent episodes of panic attacks.
23:54 Those 10 minute episodes. Yes. Okay.
23:56 And then this can, in panic disorder
23:59 you can also have excessive concern of getting
24:03 this panic attacks and you also worry
24:07 of the implications of this--
24:08 You panic about being panicked, it's like really bad.
24:11 You worry of, you know, what's gonna happen,
24:13 related to your job or related to your relationship
24:17 because of this panic attacks.
24:19 And then the person also makes major lifestyle changes
24:23 because of this panic attacks.
24:26 And for example, a person who is going to,
24:29 you know, work, they might decided
24:30 that they can't work in that type of a job
24:32 anymore because they're gonna get come up
24:34 with the panic attack and might decide to change
24:37 their job and go for something else.
24:39 Okay, then we've got three minutes
24:42 and let's talk about, you have about five or six points
24:46 and what do you do about these?
24:47 What is the hope? What can we do to
24:49 manage the affects on us from natural disasters?
24:53 All the things we have mentioned.
24:54 Absolutely, very important, safety first,
24:57 protect yourself. Protect yourself,
24:59 protect the people around you,
25:01 protect your family direct.
25:04 Get, you know, explain to them where you want to meet,
25:07 how you want to in case someone gets lost
25:10 or communication is lost, how are you going to get
25:13 back together? Okay.
25:14 You know, and then connect,
25:15 connect with agencies different,
25:17 you know, Red Cross, FEMA, whatever different agencies
25:20 that are involved with helping your community,
25:23 you know, you connect with them.
25:24 And then important to get into your routine,
25:28 take care of yourself, you know, get plenty of rest,
25:32 get enough exercise, so that you form
25:35 some kind of a routine in your life. Okay.
25:38 Also helping others is very important.
25:41 It gives you a self control.
25:43 So if you can help others who are in the similar situations.
25:47 Absolutely, that will give you some sense of
25:49 control and support.
25:51 And you know, you can't forget prayer,
25:54 that is very, very important.
25:56 Pray that for the safety of yourself and others,
25:59 and pray for strength and courage to deal
26:02 with the issues that you're going through.
26:04 Okay, and then coming to that spiritual again,
26:08 what if you're just having problems
26:10 getting your mind around,
26:12 why God would allow us or what not.
26:14 Have you helped people through that?
26:16 Yes, well, you know, it's natural sometimes for us
26:20 to question God, when we are going through
26:23 difficult situations or when we have lost our loved one
26:27 or we see our loved one dead.
26:29 It is, it is natural sometimes to feel angry
26:33 and feel resentful and hateful.
26:35 Work through that.
26:36 Yes, but you also have to keep in mind
26:38 that our God is greater than any problem
26:42 that you can go through. Amen.
26:43 And He has the reasons, why things happen?
26:47 And when we go to heaven to meet Him,
26:50 we'll get an opportunity to ask Him,
26:51 why this has happen.
26:53 But while you're going through it,
26:55 you need to say that He is in controlled
26:58 and practiced that, also it's important to have faith.
27:02 That God is watching over you through
27:04 what you're going through and even though you've lost
27:08 your property or your loved one,
27:10 that He's in control and He will help you
27:13 and he-- you know, He is in charge, no matter what.
27:16 So keeping that in mind,
27:18 keeping in mind that these worldly things
27:21 and the possessions are not the focus of our mind,
27:25 we have to keep God as the focus
27:28 and then whatever happens, you know, He's in control.
27:31 Amen. And we do our best.

27:36 This has been very helpful and I hope as it,
27:40 it is aired again and again, it will help people
27:42 with the very thing as your heart's desire to help,
27:45 those that are experiencing natural disasters
27:47 knowing that God is there and having you know,
27:49 the specifics to help them.
