About
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Also known as PTSD, this condition is characterized by a defensive reaction to avoid certain situations or incidents that are reminiscent of a past event or place where such an activity happened. One of the problems of PTSD is that it denies the victims from enjoying formerly normal activities.

Many seemingly healthy individuals experience PTSD related to various events. Approximately 10% of the adult population suffers from PTSD linked to one or two life events.

PTSD is more common in women than in men. Children are also affected, as they can experience trauma from various significant events. Any severe or disruptive incident can lead to PTSD. Examples include war, accidents, heartbreak, divorce, business failures, and sexual assault, among others.

Key Points about Post Traumatic Stress Order

PTSD happens to people of all ages and is usually more pronounced in females than males. It is characterized by avoidance and defense against the causal factor that led to the initial PTSD episode. Though antidepressants can be temporarily effective against PTSD, they don’t provide lasting relief against secondary symptoms that come with the condition.
