When Trauma Affects Daily Life
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may appear shortly after the event or surface later over time.
Common symptoms include:
-
Flashbacks or intrusive memories
-
Nightmares or disturbing dreams
-
Feeling constantly “on edge” or hypervigilant
-
Avoiding people, places, or situations that trigger memories
-
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
-
Irritability or angry outbursts
-
Emotional numbness or detachment
-
Heightened startle response
These symptoms can impact relationships, work, sleep, and overall quality of life—but healing is possible with the right support.
