PTSD in Women

PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, in women is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as violence, abuse, accident, or disaster. It causes ongoing feelings of fear, anxiety, and distress, along with symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, and difficulty trusting others. Women may be more vulnerable to PTSD due to factors like gender-based violence or social support differences. Treatment typically involves therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and sometimes medication, helping manage symptoms and promote recovery.
