Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can happen after someone goes through a very scary or upsetting event, like an accident, assault, or natural disaster. People with PTSD may feel like they are reliving the traumatic event through flashbacks or nightmares. They might feel constantly on edge, worried, or easily startled. They might avoid places or situations that remind them of the event, for example, if they were in a car crash, they might be reluctant to get into a car. PTSD can affect someone’s daily life, but with treatment, like therapy or medication and support, people can learn to manage their symptoms and feel better over time.
