POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

Post-traumatic stress disorder, also called PTSD, is a stress-driven disorder that happens when a memory of a past traumatic event like a sexual assault or war, causes recurring mental and physical distress. The main symptoms of PTSD are psychological and can occur concurrently with depression, grief, and anxiety disorders.

A person suffering from PTSD re-experience their trauma through flashbacks, nightmares and intrusive thoughts that can lead to behavioral changes, such as avoiding a place or situation that reminds them of their trauma.
