Flight #11 - Flying with PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder)
In this edition, marked as Flight #11, we'll fly through the clouds of a critical topic that holds significance not only in aviation but in various professions and personal lives: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This mental health challenge can affect anyone who has experienced or witnessed traumatic events. We'll explore how PTSD manifests, its impact on aviation professionals, and effective coping strategies to promote healing and resilience.
