Psychological trauma refers to the emotional and mental distress that results from experiencing or witnessing distressing events, such as accidents, natural disasters, or violence. This type of trauma can lead to various symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and flashbacks, which may disrupt a person's daily life and well-being. Individuals who experience psychological trauma may develop conditions like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which can affect their ability to cope with stress and maintain relationships. Treatment options often include therapy, medication, and support groups, helping individuals process their experiences and regain a sense of control over their lives.
