PTSD stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is a mental health condition that can develop in individuals who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. PTSD can occur after exposure to a single traumatic incident or a series of events that are overwhelming and distressing.

Key features of PTSD include:

1. Intrusive Symptoms: Individuals with PTSD may experience intrusive and distressing memories, flashbacks, or nightmares related to the traumatic event. These memories can be so vivid that they feel as if the trauma is happening again.

2. Avoidance: People with PTSD may avoid reminders of the traumatic event, including places, people, thoughts, or activities associated with the trauma. This avoidance can interfere with daily life and lead to social withdrawal.

3. Negative Changes in Thinking and Mood: PTSD can result in negative changes in thoughts and emotions. This may include persistent negative beliefs about oneself or the world, feelings of detachment or estrangement, and difficulty experiencing positive emotions.

4. Hyperarousal: Individuals with PTSD often experience increased arousal and reactivity. This can manifest as irritability, difficulty concentrating, exaggerated startle response, and difficulty sleeping.

Treatment often includes a combined approach of medication and therapy!
