PTSD: Understanding the Impact and Finding Healing
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It's a complex disorder that can significantly impact a person's daily life, causing a range of emotional, psychological, and physical symptoms.
How PTSD Can Affect You
PTSD can manifest in various ways, including:
- Intrusive Thoughts: Reliving the traumatic event through flashbacks, nightmares or intrusive thoughts.
- Avoidance: Avoiding people, places, or activities that remind you of the trauma.
- Negative Thoughts and Feelings: Experiencing persistent negative emotions, such as guilt, shame , or anger.
- Hyperarousal: Feeling constantly on edge, easily startled, or having difficulty sleeping.
These symptoms can interfere with your relationships, work, and overall well-being.
