Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a prevalent mental health condition, emerges in response to exposure to traumatic events and is characterized by persistent re-experiencing, avoidance, hyperarousal, and alterations in mood and cognition.
​
Trauma-related symptoms can also manifest in disorders such as Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) and Adjustment Disorders. These symptoms can often overlap with other conditions as well, such as depression, anxiety, or mood disorders.
Individuals with PTSD may experience symptoms such as distressing flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened emotional reactions, impacting their daily functioning. Other possible symptoms include hypervigilance, avoidance of reminders, and mood swings.
