Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Intrusive symptoms include distressing memories, nightmares, and strong reactions to triggers. Avoidance involves steering clear of thoughts, places, or people linked to the trauma, while negative mood symptoms bring guilt, emotional numbness, and distorted self-perception. Hyperarousal leads to heightened alertness, sleep issues, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.
What Causes PTSD?
PTSD develops after traumatic events, with severity influenced by factors such as trauma type (e.g., combat or assault), preexisting mental health conditions, prolonged exposure, biological factors (genetics and brain chemistry), and lack of support.
