Post traumatic stress disorder
Post traumatic stress disorder is a condition that may develop following an individual’s exposure to a traumatic event, however it is not the incident alone that will trigger this disorder, but it is the individual’s response that defines the trauma. Some of the symptoms include persistent and re-experiencing memories, thoughts, images, feelings or nightmares triggered by ordinary events. Some people may also feel detached, numb or avoid situations that trigger the traumatic memories. Sometimes PTSD is accompanied by depression and anxiety.
