What Is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a psychiatric condition that occurs when the brain continues to react to a traumatic experience long after the danger has ended.

Several factors may increase the risk of developing PTSD, including

Exposure to severe trauma
Military combat experiences
Physical or emotional abuse
Serious accidents or injuries
Natural disasters
Family history of mental health conditions
Lack of social support after trauma

Common PTSD symptoms include

Flashbacks of traumatic events
Nightmares
Intrusive memories
Hypervigilance or feeling constantly on guard
Difficulty sleeping
Irritability or anger

Anxiety and panic symptoms
Avoidance of trauma-related reminders
