Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition resulting from exposure to a terrifying event, either firsthand or as a witness. The symptoms of PTSD may encompass various distressing experiences, such as flashbacks, nightmares, and intense anxiety, alongside uncontrollable thoughts related to the traumatic incident. While most individuals can initially experience difficulties adjusting and coping after a traumatic event, they often show improvement over time with proper self-care. However, if the symptoms worsen, persist for an extended period, or significantly disrupt day-to-day functioning, it may indicate the presence of PTSD.
