WHAT IS PTSD?

PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a debilitating anxiety disorder that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. The impact of PTSD is not limited to those directly involved in the event—witnessing trauma alone can trigger severe emotional distress and psychological symptoms.


Common symptoms of PTSD include flashbacks, low self-esteem, insomnia, and persistent negative emotions. Some individuals may experience memory loss related to the traumatic event, while others may suffer from intrusive thoughts and nightmares that disrupt daily life. Because PTSD symptoms manifest differently in each person, an individualized treatment plan is essential.

WHAT CAUSES PTSD?

PTSD is caused by some type of traumatic event that triggers changes in your brain, altering its overall function. You can be triggered into states of high vigilance and anxiety when no danger is present. Like most mental health conditions, researchers are still trying to figure out exactly what leads to the development of PTSD. It seems, that parts of the brain associated with memory and emotion (like the prefrontal cortex and amygdala) are physically changed by traumatic experiences.


People with PTSD also tend to have higher levels of stress hormones like cortisol and norepinephrine. Essentially, the brain can suddenly trigger the flight-or-flight response if it senses anything that reminds you of the traumatic event.


Traumatic events can come in many different shapes and forms, but the most common examples include some of the following:



  • Childhood abuse
  • Sexual abuse
  • Domestic violence (whether physical, verbal, or sexual)
  • Physical assault
  • Witnessing a criminal act
  • Car accidents
  • Natural disasters
  • The loss of a loved one

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF PTSD?

The effects of PTSD involve a wide range of symptoms. One of the most common symptoms experienced is vivid flashbacks. These may involve visual hallucinations of the situation that traumatized you.  If someone or something reminds you of the trauma, you may go out of your way to avoid them. You may also refuse to talk to other people about your painful experiences which can block your pathway to healing.

Additional symptoms of PTSD can include the following:

  • Feeling of guilt and shame
  • Nausea or a lack of appetite
  • A sense of constantly being on edge
  • Irritability or angry outbursts
