PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

What is PTSD? 
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a serious mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It can profoundly impact your daily life, but with the right support and treatment, you can heal and regain control over your life.  PTSD is a disorder characterized by intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to a traumatic experience that last long after the event has ended. People with PTSD may relive the event through flashbacks or nightmares, feel sadness, fear, or anger, and may feel detached or estranged from others.
