Understanding PTSD

PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It is characterized by a range of symptoms that can vary from person to person, including:

Intrusive Thoughts: Recurrent, distressing memories, flashbacks, or nightmares related to the traumatic experience.

Avoidance: Steering clear of places, people, or activities that remind you of the trauma.

Negative Changes in Mood: Feelings of hopelessness, emotional numbness, or difficulty experiencing positive emotions.

Heightened Arousal: Increased anxiety, irritability, difficulty sleeping, or exaggerated startle responses.

Understanding PTSD and its effects is crucial for your healing journey. Recognizing that you are not alone and that help is available is an essential step toward recovery.
