PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can occur after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as war, natural disasters, or serious accidents. People with PTSD may experience flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety, which can interfere with daily life. They might also avoid reminders of the trauma and feel emotionally numb. PTSD can affect anyone, and while symptoms can be distressing, treatments like therapy and medication can help individuals manage their symptoms and regain control of their lives. Understanding and support from others are crucial for recovery.
