What Is PTSD?
Most of us will experience a tragic event at least once in our lives, and this will usually involve the loss of a loved one. It is a part of life and it is largely a matter of grieving and then moving on. Some events will be even more traumatic, however, and a period of grieving will not be enough in some cases.
PTSD is a condition where the patient is struggling to cope with extreme events that have happened in their lives. It is often associated with people that serve in the military, but it can affect people from all walks of life. The good news is that treatment is available that can help patients with the condition.
