Trauma and PTSD

Trauma refers to a distressing or disturbing experience that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope, often resulting in intense emotional and psychological distress. Common sources of trauma include physical or sexual abuse, accidents, natural disasters, combat, or witnessing violence.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop following exposure to a traumatic event. Symptoms of PTSD may include intrusive memories or flashbacks, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, negative changes in mood and cognition, and heightened arousal or reactivity.Diagnosis of PTSD involves meeting specific criteria outlined in diagnostic manuals such as the DSM-5, including the duration and severity of symptoms. It can occur immediately after the traumatic event or months to years later. Recovery from PTSD often involves rebuilding a sense of safety and trust, addressing emotional and psychological wounds, and developing healthy coping strategies. Supportive relationships, community resources, and a safe environment are critical in the healing process. Research continues to advance our understanding of trauma and PTSD, improving diagnostic tools, treatment options, and preventive measures to help individuals affected by trauma reclaim their lives and achieve long-term recovery.
