  • 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
