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.
