What Is PTSD and Trauma?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event. Trauma refers to the emotional response to such an event, which can overwhelm an individual’s ability to cope. While not everyone who experiences a traumatic event will develop PTSD, its effects can be long-lasting and significantly impact daily functioning.
Common Symptoms of PTSD
-
Intrusive memories, such as recurrent, unwanted distressing memories, flashbacks, or nightmares.
-
Avoidance of people, places, activities, or conversations that are reminders of the traumatic event.
-
Persistent negative thoughts about oneself or the world, distorted blame, and ongoing feelings of fear, anger, or guilt.
-
Changes in physical and emotional reactions, such as being easily startled, irritability, and difficulty sleeping.
-
Feeling detached or estranged from others and a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed.
What Causes PTSD and Trauma?
PTSD and trauma are direct results of exposure to a shocking, scary, or dangerous event. This can include combat exposure, physical or sexual assault, abuse, accidents, natural disasters, or other serious events. The individual’s risk of developing PTSD can also be influenced by a history of mental health challenges, a lack of a strong support system, or the intensity of the traumatic experience.
