What are the symptoms of PTSD?

Symptoms of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) include flashbacks, nightmares, and intrusive thoughts related to the traumatic event.

Individuals with PTSD may experience heightened arousal, such as irritability, insomnia, or exaggerated startle responses.

Avoidance symptoms, such as steering clear of reminders of the trauma or feeling numb, are common in PTSD.

Emotional numbing, difficulty experiencing positive emotions, and feelings of detachment from others are also signs of PTSD.

PTSD can lead to difficulties in functioning, including problems with relationships, work, or daily activities.
