Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

📖What is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event such as violence, an accident, natural disaster, or combat. It is characterized by intrusive re-experiencing of the trauma, avoidance of trauma-related reminders, negative changes in mood and thinking, and heightened arousal or reactivity that persist for more than a month after the event. Symptoms can significantly disrupt daily functioning, relationships, and quality of life if left untreated. Not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD, and the risk depends on the nature of the trauma along with individual and environmental factors.
