Step 1

PTSD or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a mental health condition that can develop after exposure to a traumatic event such as combat, sexual assault, natural disasters, or other life-threatening experiences. People with PTSD may experience symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, depression, irritability, and avoidance of reminders of the traumatic event. These symptoms can disrupt daily life, relationships, and employment and can lead to a range of other health problems if left untreated. Treatment for PTSD typically involves a combination of therapy and medication and can help individuals manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
