Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

About PTSD

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

​

Most people who go through traumatic events may have temporary difficulty adjusting and coping, but with time and good self-care, they usually get better. If the symptoms get worse, last for months or even years, and interfere with your day-to-day functioning, you may have PTSD.

​

Getting effective treatment after PTSD symptoms develop can be critical to reduce symptoms and improve function.

​

If you think you may hurt yourself or attempt suicide, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.
