Major Depressive Disorder

PTSD

Bipolar

What is it?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder develops in some people after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event such as combat, assault, a serious accident, natural disaster, or the sudden loss of a loved one. While it is normal to feel shaken after trauma, PTSD occurs when the nervous system remains stuck in a state of threat long after the danger has passed.

PTSD affects approximately 1 in 11 people in their lifetime and is more common in women than men. It can emerge immediately after a trauma or appear months or even years later. Contrary to common misconception, PTSD is not limited to veterans, it can affect anyone who has lived through something overwhelming.

Recognizing the signs

PTSD symptoms are grouped into four categories. They must persist for more than a month and cause significant disruption to daily life:

Flashbacks or reliving the traumatic event

Nightmares related to the trauma

Severe emotional distress when reminded of event

Avoiding people/places/ Thoughts tied to trauma

Feeling emotionally numb or detached from others

Persistent negative beliefs of oneself/world

easily startled or feeling constantly on edge

Difficulty sleeping and concentrating
