About PTSD
Many people will experience a life-threatening traumatic event in their lifetime, including but not limited to:
- Physical or sexual assault (with or without a weapon)
- Domestic abuse
- A serious accident (in the workplace, in a vehicle, in public, etc.)
- Natural disaster
- Military/first responder traumatic events
Events such as these can trigger a range of symptoms, including:
- Flashbacks, nightmares, or trouble sleeping
- Avoiding things that bring on distressing memories
- Negative thoughts or feelings, feeling detached
- Feeling on edge or easily startled
- Feeling that normal day to day activities, relationships, and overall state of mind has changed drastically since the traumatic event
While these symptoms often go away in a few weeks, for some they never go away and linger for months or even years – a condition known as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
