Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychological disorder that can develop following a traumatic event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, and avoidance of things associated with the trauma. PTSD can significantly impair a person's life, leading to difficulty in functioning and social isolation. Treatment may include psychological therapy such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, or medications. With proper treatment, people with PTSD can improve significantly and lead a normal life.
