PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is a mental health condition that is triggered by a traumatic event. Symptoms of PTSD include flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance of reminders of the event, negative changes in mood and thoughts, and changes in physical and emotional reactions. PTSD can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or culture. It can be treated through cognitive-behavioral therapy, medications, or a combination of both.
