Trauma - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, horrific, or terrible event.
It is natural to feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation. Fear triggers many split-second changes in the body to help defend against danger or to avoid it. This “fight-or-flight” response is a typical reaction meant to protect a person from harm. Nearly everyone will experience a range of reactions after trauma, yet most people recover from initial symptoms naturally. Those who continue to experience problems may be diagnosed with PTSD. People who have PTSD may feel stressed or frightened even when they are not in danger.

Post Traumatic Signs and Symptoms
Not every person that experiences a life-altering event develops ongoing (chronic) or even short-term (acute) PTSD. Traumatic experiences can vary with each person. Symptoms usually begin early, within 3 months of the traumatic incident, but sometimes they develop years afterward. Symptoms frequently last more than a month and are usually severe enough to cause extreme distress in relationships, daily routines and cause employment issues. The course of the illness varies. Some people may recover within 6 months, while others have symptoms that last much longer. In some people, the condition becomes chronic.
