Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,
or PTSD, is a condition that develops following a horrible or terrifying
event.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can be triggered by a number of things such as:
- War
- Car Accident
- Rape
- Child Abuse
- Natural Disasters
Life situations that may be a threat to you or a loved one, can trigger PTSD.
Being a witness to something horrific can trigger it as well.
Reliving
the trauma with nightmares, and thoughts of the day it happened becomes
a problem. Soon you
may begin to have sleeping problems, feel detached, or easily frightened.
You may begin to lose interest in things you used to enjoy. You may feel
more
irritable, fatigued, and/or violent.
