After tragic events, many people have a
difficult time concentrating, eating, sleeping, and dealing with anxiety,
depression and even PTSD. They experience having difficulty maintaining their
calmness and are also unaware of the critical reactions of their behavior, and
how they can evoke on others. These types of self-serving bias evidently play a
crucial role in their inabilities to maintain a stable level of healthy
functioning around others or in their inhabitant of dwelling, following
potential traumatic events.

Cardozo, Barbara L., Reinhard Kaiser, Carol A. Gotway, and Ferid Agani. "Mental Health, Social Functioning, and Feelings of Hatred and Revenge of Kosovar Albanians One Year after the War in Kosovo." Journal of Traumatic Sterss 16.4 (2003): 351-60. Mental Health, Social Functioning, and Feelings of Hatred and Revenge of Kosovar Albanians One Year after the War in Kosovo. International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, 30 June 2005. Web. 29 Sept. 2013.
A cross-sectional
cluster sample survey was conducted in June 2000 in Kosovo to assess the
prevalence of mental health problems associated with traumatic experiences,
feelings of hatred and revenge, and the level of social functioning among
Kosovar Albanians approximately 1 year after the end of the war. Findings of
the second cross-sectional survey were compared with those from our 1999 mental
health survey in Kosovo. Included in the survey were 1399 Kosovar Albanians
aged 15 years or older living in 593 randomly selected households across
Kosovo? Twenty-five percent of
respondents reported PTSD symptoms, compared with 17.1% in 1999. The MOS-20
social functioning score improved to 69.8 from 29.5 in 1999. In the 2000 survey
54% of men felt hatred toward the Serbs, compared with 88.7% in 1999? Some
people who feel wronged find it hard to move forward without revenge. In 1999 a
health questionnaire was given to war survivors. The question asking about
having feelings of hatred and revenge showed that 90.2% of women hold on to
hatred, while 88.7% of men hold on to hatred. 50.2% percent of men and 42.7% of
women had feeling of revenge but 63.8% of men and 49.0% of women actually would
act on that feeling.

When
the term Dysregulation is used, it is simply saying that the emotional
regulations that may distinguish adaptive and maladaptive qualities are the
emphasis of identifying emotional pattern. It may also take the form of
overregulation, as in the case of blunted emotion expression or experience.
However, in some cases, the overregulated expression of emotion may be masking
high levels of internal distress. Studies have traced the development of
emotion characteristics and their regulation as an important and central theme
of the developmental psychopathology. These conditions differ from their norms,
and the nature of the deviations that become symptomatic and develop into
disorders as they get older.

Georges Han, a recovered patient now studying at the University of Minnesota for a Ph.D. in psychology, describes borderline personality disorder as ''a serious psychiatric disorder involving a pervasive sense of emptiness, impulsivity, difficulty with emotions, transient stress-induced psychosis and frequent suicidal thoughts or attempts. ‘Moods can change quickly and unpredictably, behaviors can be impulsive (including abuse of alcohol or drugs, reckless driving, overspending or disordered eating), and relationships with others are often unstable. As children, people who will develop the disorder are often ''hyperreactive, hypervigilant and supersensitive,'' Valerie Porr, a therapist in New York, said in an interview. Typically they receive a host of misdiagnoses and treatments that are inappropriate and ineffective. Many patients injure themselves and threaten or attempt suicide to relieve their emotional pain. The attacks can be brutal, pushing away those they care most about. Then, when the storm subsides, they typically revert to being ''sweet and wonderful,'' as one family member put it.

Some signs of emotion driven behaviors are
worrying about loved ones safety, perfectionism at home or at work, over
checking locks, stoves etc., Not being able to function in crowded areas,
creates problem for others and view by many as
being socially withdrawn; or even verbally and sometimes physically
attacking someone when in an argument. Being hyper vigilant, he newly
discovered commonalities within and between the anxiety and mood disorders.
Emerging evidence suggests that considerable overlapping among the anxiety and
current lifetime comorbidity. Solution may lie in the development of a common
treatment approached, applicable to a range of emotional disorders, which
carries over into hypothetical active procedures shared by current disparate
treatments.
