Description
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is a disorder that can develop after a person is exposed to a traumatic event in their life. It is usually linked to soldiers who return from warfare, but may also include sexual assault, traffic collisions, or another threat on a person’s life or if someone came close to death. Cognitive symptoms include disturbing thoughts, feelings, and dreams related to the events.
It is understood that 9% of people develop PTSD at some point in their life. The condition was recognised after World Wars I and II but named under various terms, with it being referred to as PTSD after multiple diagnoses of US military veterans after the Vietnam War.
