Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can affect anyone. Whether you are a veteran, a first responder, a survivor of violence, or someone who’s witnessed or experienced trauma, PTSD can make everyday life feel overwhelming.

But you don’t have to live with the weight of trauma forever. Help is available, and healing is possible.

What Is PTSD

PTSD is a serious mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It doesn’t matter how long ago it happened. Trauma can leave lasting effects that impact your thoughts, emotions, behavior, and relationships.

Common sources of trauma include:

• Combat or military service
• Physical or sexual assault
• Serious accidents or natural disasters
• Childhood abuse or neglect
• Loss of a loved one due to violence or tragedy

PTSD symptoms may appear shortly after a traumatic experience or surface years later. The effects can be long-lasting, but they are also treatable.

Signs and Symptoms of PTSD 

Each person’s experience with PTSD is different, but most people share symptoms in four key areas:

 Re-Experiencing 

• Nightmares or flashbacks 

• Intrusive, distressing thoughts 

• Intense emotional or physical reactions to reminders of the trauma 

 Negative Mood and Thinking 

• Feelings of hopelessness or emotional numbness 

• Difficulty feeling joy or connection 

• Guilt, shame, or self-blame 

 Avoidance 

• Avoiding people, places, or conversations that remind you of the trauma 

• Isolation or emotional withdrawal 

 Hyperarousal 

• Irritability or angry outbursts 

• Difficulty sleeping or concentrating 
• Feeling constantly on edge or easily startled
