MTV means Music Television

MTV is a television network that started in 1981 with a new concept: the non-stop broadcasting of (music) video clips. The network started with the broadcasting of "Video killed the radio star" of the Buggles. From the start the station was popular and played an important role for Western culture. MTV has played an important role not only in the field of music, but also in fashion and film areas. Meanwhile, MTV has many music stations (MTV Nederland, TMF, VH1, etc.), and the station has less and fewer music, but gets over to music-related programs (reality shows of pop stars, animated series). In these times, MTV still stands for the youth culture, with roots in music, but not just music. Watch the MTV content on the website.

• Reliving
• Flashbacks
• Nightmares
• Stress by signals that remind of the trauma
• Sleep disorders
• Concentration problems
• Violent scare reactions
• Avoidance of conversations or activities that remind of the trauma
• Anger eruptions

When these symptoms last longer than a moon, there is talk of PTSD. Not everyone gets PTSD after a traumatic experience, only if the normal processing process gets blocked. Some people are prone to violence, and sometimes the event is simply too overwhelming to handle normally. Read more about PTSD on this website.
