Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event.
Intense anxiety, intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and flashbacks related to the traumatic event characterize the condition.
Traumatic events that can lead to PTSD can include experiences such as military combat, sexual assault, physical or emotional abuse, natural disasters, or accidents. PTSD can affect people of all ages and occur anytime after a traumatic event.
You’re not alone.
PTSD can significantly impact an individual’s ability to function and interfere with their daily life, work, and relationships. Effective treatments, such as psychotherapy, medications, and alternative therapies like meditation and mindfulness practices, are available. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of PTSD, it’s essential to seek help from a mental health professional.
An estimated 3.6% of U.S. adults had PTSD in the past year.
Women are more likely to develop PTSD than men. About 8 of every 100 women (or 8%) and 4 of every 100 men (or 4%) will have PTSD at some point in their life.
The prevalence of PTSD among adolescents was higher for females than for males. PTSD are higher for certain types of trauma survivors.
