Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It is characterized by symptoms such as intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, heightened anxiety, and emotional numbness. Individuals may also experience irritability, difficulty sleeping, or avoidance of reminders of the trauma, which can significantly impact daily life and relationships. With proper assessment and evidence-based treatment, individuals can process traumatic experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and work toward emotional healing and stability.
