PTSD is a mental disorder that people may develop after experiencing traumatic events. Here are some of the symptoms of PTSD:

  • Intrusive memories associated with traumatic events (e.g., flashbacks, distressing dreams, intense distress when exposed to cues associated with trauma)
  • Avoidance (e.g., avoid distressing memories, thoughts, or feelings about or closely associated with the traumatic event; avoid people, situations, objects, activities, conversation, places that are associated with traumatic event)
  • Cognitive and mood changes (e.g., inability to remember traumatic event, distorted beliefs, persistently feeling negative emotions, feelings of detachment, loss of interest, inability to feel positive emotions)
  • Alterations in arousal and reactivity (hypervigilance, reckless, exaggerated startle response, reduced concentration, sleep disturbance, irritable, etc.)
