Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

A trauma-related disorder involving flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety.

PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by a terrifying event—either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

Symptoms

Intrusive memories or flashbacks
Nightmares related to the trauma
Severe emotional distress
Avoidance of reminders of the trauma
Hypervigilance or exaggerated startle response

Diagnosis

Diagnosis involves clinical interviews and the use of tools such as the PTSD Checklist (PCL-5), assessing symptoms based on trauma history and DSM-5 criteria.

Treatment Options

Includes trauma-focused psychotherapy (e.g. EMDR, prolonged exposure), medications like SSRIs, support groups, and mindfulness-based therapies.
