Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
0
When something terrifying or tragic happens to a person, he or she can develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD can be brought about by an accident, a life-threatening situation (like a rape or assault), or a natural disaster (like an earthquake or fire). When something extremely bad happens to or around a person, he or she may have difficulty recovering. PTSD can cause a person to experience flashbacks of the event. It may make concentrating or falling asleep difficult. PTSD can occur immediately following a traumatic experience or it may take months or years to develop.
