Understanding Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that emerges in the aftermath of a traumatic or distressing event. Unlike the typical fear response experienced by most individuals during and immediately after such an event, individuals with PTSD continue to endure intense feelings of fear long after the threat has subsided.
It is essential to recognize that not all individuals with PTSD have necessarily been in direct physical danger. Traumatic experiences leading to PTSD can encompass a range of events, including the sudden death of a loved one or other unexpected traumas.
Symptoms of PTSD typically surface anywhere from three months to several years after the traumatic incident. These symptoms are categorized into four main groups:
