Post-Traumatic stress disorder

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. PTSD can disrupt daily life, relationships, and work. Treatment often involves psychotherapy (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy) and medications to manage symptoms. Support from loved ones and a safe environment are crucial for recovery, as PTSD affects individuals differently and requires personalized care.
