What Is PTSD?
1. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD is the acronym for post-traumatic stress disorder. It is a condition that tends to affect people that have been through extremely traumatic experiences in their past. The condition causes the patient to suffer from anxiety over the event and it can have a considerable negative impact on their quality of life.
For many people, PTSD is temporary and the symptoms will lessen as time goes by. For other people, however, PTSD is something that can be with them for the rest of their lives. Treatment is available that can help the patient to manage the condition and its symptoms.
