What is PTSD / Abuse?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event.

PTSD can arise from a variety of traumatic events, such as combat, sexual assault, natural disasters, accidents, or violent personal assaults.
