Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating condition
that follows a terrifying event. Often, people with PTSD have
persistent frightening thoughts and memories of their ordeal and
feel emotionally numb, especially with people they were once close
to. PTSD, once referred to as shell shock or battle fatigue, was
first brought to public attention by war veterans, but it can
result from any number of traumatic incidents.
