What Is PTSD?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can
develop in
individuals who have experienced or
witnessed a traumatic event.
This
includes: physical or sexual assault, combat exposure, natural disasters, accidents, or
childhood abuse.
While not everyone who goes through trauma ends up with PTSD, some people
do
experience lasting symptoms of trauma that interfere with
their emotions and
daily life.
Research shows that women are more likely to develop PTSD than men.
Symptoms of PTSD Include:
Recurrent distressing memories, flashbacks, or nightmares
Negative changes in their beliefs, including feeling guilt or shame
Avoiding reminders, including refusing to talk about it
Heightened arousal, such as irritability, hypervigilance, difficulty sleeping
PTSD can have a significant impact on your daily life, relationships, career,
and overall
well-being.
Luckily, effective treatment can help you manage
and overcome
PTSD– and regain your life.

shown to be
effective in reducing your symptoms, and for many people, these effects are
long-lasting.
Factors that affect effectiveness include: the severity of the trauma, early
intervention, presence of
supportive relationships, as well as individual elements such as self-reliance.

often more
effective and long-lasting than other treatments.
