PTSD

I am PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder. I occur after you have witnessed or experienced a traumatic event which typically involves a threat of injury or death. Some events that would cause PTSD would be assault, abuse, rape, terrorism, war and much more. I ususally come with haunting memories, nightmares, and insomnia. I can occur at any age and most often occur in women. Usually if you have me, you tend to avoid situations similar to the particular event that caused you to be diagnosed with me. Some of my symptoms are heart beating fast, dizziness, being startled easily, feeling dettached, etc. A good treatment for me would be to join a support group and go to therapy.
