Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD) is a mental health condition that develops after experiencing or
witnessing a traumatic event. Its symptoms can include intrusive memories,
flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and emotional distress related to the
traumatic incident. Individuals with PTSD often try to avoid reminders of the
event and might feel emotionally numb. They may also experience difficulty
concentrating, have heightened reactions, and trouble sleeping.
Traumatic events like combat
exposure, accidents, physical or sexual assault, natural disasters, or sudden
loss can trigger PTSD. These symptoms can significantly impact daily life,
relationships, work, and mental health, persisting for an extended period.
Treatment for PTSD
typically involves therapy, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and
sometimes medications to alleviate symptoms and assist individuals in coping
with the traumatic experience. Seeking professional help is essential for
managing PTSD and improving overall well-being.
