What is PTSD?
PTSD and Complex PTSD– Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.
Most people who go through traumatic events may have temporary difficulty adjusting and coping, but with time and good self-care, they usually get better. If the symptoms get worse, last for months or even years, and interfere with your day-to-day functioning, you may have PTSD.
What causes PTSD?
Types of events that can lead to PTSD include:
- Serious accidents
- Physical or sexual assault
- Abuse, including childhood or domestic abuse
- Exposure to traumatic events at work, including remote exposure
- Serious health problems, such as being admitted to intensive care
- Childbirth experiences, such as losing a baby
- The death of someone close to you
- War and conflict
- Torture
PTSD develops in about 1 in 3 people who experience severe trauma.
It’s not fully understood why some people develop the condition while others do not.
But certain factors appear to make some people more likely to develop PTSD.
How is PTSD Treated?
The main treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are talking therapies and medicine.
Traumatic events can be very difficult to come to terms with, but confronting your feelings and getting professional help is often the only way of effectively treating PTSD.
It’s possible for PTSD to be successfully treated many years after the traumatic event or events occurred, which means it’s never too late to get help.
