What Are PTSD and Trauma?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that may develop after a person experiences or witnesses a terrifying event. Trauma is the emotional response to a deeply distressing experience, which can have lasting adverse effects on an individual’s well-being. While many people experience trauma, PTSD involves persistent, intense thoughts and feelings related to the event long after it has concluded.
Common Symptoms of PTSD
-
Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares of the traumatic event.
-
Avoiding people, places, or activities that are reminders of the trauma.
-
Negative changes in thoughts and mood, such as hopelessness or memory problems.
-
Changes in physical and emotional reactions, including being easily startled or feeling on edge.
-
Difficulty maintaining close relationships and feeling detached from family and friends.
What Causes PTSD?
PTSD and trauma-related disorders are caused by exposure to a shocking, scary, or dangerous event. This can include direct experiences like combat, physical or sexual assault, accidents, or natural disasters. Witnessing such events or learning about a traumatic event that occurred to a family member or close friend can also lead to the development of these conditions.
