Recovery from PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that affects certain people after they have been through a traumatic, frightening, or hazardous incident. It’s normal to be scared during and after a terrible event.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Anyone who has been exposed to a stressful experience can develop PTSD. An incident that generates fear, helplessness, or horror in response to the danger of harm or death might trigger the onset of PTSD.
Some common triggers for Post-traumatic stress disorder include sexual assault, accidents, physical violence, combat, the death of a loved one, and witnessing terrorist acts.
A team of psychiatric health and wellness experts at One Behavioral diagnosis and treats PTSD, so you may regain control over your life.
