Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) occurs as a result of a life-threatening event. The medical condition is characterized by nightmares, insomnia, flashbacks, anxiety and isolation that lasts longer than three months. A news report, sound or situation may trigger the PTSD symptoms and cause you to relive a terrifying event. PTSD can interfere with every aspect of your life, including your family, your employment and common everyday tasks.
