What is PTSD?

It’s characterized by severe anxiety, flashbacks, uncontrollable thoughts, and persistent nightmares.

PTSD Causes and Risk Factors

While not everyone who experiences a traumatic event will develop PTSD, several factors can increase the likelihood of onset, including:

  • Experiencing intense or long-lasting trauma
  • Having a job that increases your risk of being exposed to traumatic events
  • 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
