Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, severe anxiety, nightmares, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. PTSD can affect anyone, regardless of age or background.

PTSD symptoms can vary widely but often include:
>Re-experiencing Symptoms: Flashbacks, nightmares, and intrusive thoughts related to the traumatic event.
>Avoidance Symptoms: Avoiding places, people, or activities that remind you of the trauma.
>Arousal and Reactivity Symptoms: Being easily startled, feeling tense, having difficulty sleeping, and experiencing angry outbursts.
>Cognitive and Mood Symptoms: Trouble remembering the traumatic event, negative thoughts about oneself or the world, and feelings of guilt or shame.
-
PTSD can develop after any traumatic event, but some factors may increase the risk, including:
>Experiencing intense or long-lasting trauma
>Having a history of mental health issues
>Lack of support after the trauma
>Dealing with additional stressors, such as loss of a loved one or job
>Having a family history of PTSD or depression

>Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps change negative thought patterns and behaviors.
>Exposure Therapy: Gradually and safely exposes patients to the trauma-related stimuli in a controlled way.
