What is PTSD?
PTSD is a disorder that may occur after experiencing or witnessing life-threatening events such as military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents, or physical or sexual assault in adult or childhood. It’s characterized by severe anxiety, flashbacks, uncontrollable thoughts, and persistent nightmares.

- Having other mental health problems, such as anxiety or depression
- Lacking a good support system of family and friends
- Having a history of substance abuse
PTSD Symptoms
- Reliving the event (also called re-experiencing symptoms) such as flashbacks or nightmares
- Avoidance of situations that remind you of the traumatic event
- Negative changes in beliefs and feelings
- Hyperarousal, which means being on high alert or feeling jittery
