Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after you've experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. It's normal to feel stressed, upset, or afraid after an event that makes you feel like your life or others' lives are in danger. PTSD is diagnosed when symptoms get worse and last longer than a month. If you have PTSD, it means that you continue to be troubled by flashbacks and nightmares of the event. You may also have trouble sleeping, feeling detached from other people, or avoiding situations that remind you of the event.
