PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Awareness

What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?

.Post Traumatic Stress disorder is defined as "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that develops in response to experiencing or witnessing an extremely violent tevent involving the threat of death or extreme bodily harm, such as a ssexual , physical violence, and military combat. It can occur in the wake of a car crash, fire, earthquake, or other natural disaster; or any sudden, disruptive event.PTSD is characterized by vivid, intrusive memories of the precipitating event, hypervigilance and reactivity to possible threats, nightmares, and mood disturbances," (Psychology Today, 2020). 

Too often ,many people who suffer from PTSD feel like they are misunderstood and have no one to talk to. Its like a battle going on inside your head and when you try to express to someone what is going on, they try their best to show empathy, but sometimes that person does not truly understand how it feels or can offer the right help to cope with the situation. And most other times people tell you to get over it and stop thinking about it and you will be fine.
