Post-Traumatic Stress
Individuals with PTSD often relive the traumatic event through nightmares and flashbacks, leading to feelings of isolation, irritability, and guilt.
They frequently experience sleep problems like insomnia and struggle with concentration.
These symptoms are severe and persistent, significantly impacting daily life.
PTSD can develop immediately after a distressing event or manifest weeks, months, or even years later.
It is estimated that around 1 in 3 individuals who undergo trauma develop PTSD, although the exact reasons for this variation remain unclear.
Repeated exposure to traumatic situations, such as severe neglect, abuse, or violence, may result in a diagnosis of complex PTSD.
Complex PTSD exhibits similar symptoms to PTSD but may emerge years after the event.
Early-life trauma intensifies the effects of complex PTSD, affecting a child’s development.
