Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can affect anyone who has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. It’s more than just feeling stressed or overwhelmed—it’s a disruption to your emotional and psychological balance that can make everyday life challenging. Common symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance of reminders of the event, difficulty sleeping, and feelings of anxiety or hopelessness. For many, it can feel like the trauma is happening all over again, even when they’re safe.
