Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. It can affect anyone, including veterans, survivors of accidents, and victims of violence. Treatment for PTSD often involves therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and sometimes medication. Support from friends and family is also crucial for recovery. Understanding and awareness of PTSD can help reduce stigma and encourage those affected to seek help.
