What is PTSD?

A stressful and traumatic situation, like an accident, is often the root cause of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a psychiatric disease. After a distressing occurrence, it’s normal to experience symptoms like anxiety and insomnia, which normally go away within a few weeks. But if they persist for more than a month, they can be diagnosed as PTSD. According to the NHS, almost one in every three individuals who suffer trauma acquire PTSD.

Just some of the symptoms of PTSD include:

  • Trouble sleeping
  • Nightmares
  • Flashbacks
  • Avoidance of the trauma
  • Extreme anxiety
  • Muscle tension
  • Anger
  • Depression
