Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can occur after a person has been through a traumatic event. These events can include:
Natural disasters
Car crashes
Sexual or physical assaults
Terrorist attacks
Combat during wartimeDuring a traumatic event, people think that their life or the lives of others are in danger. They may feel afraid or feel that they have no control over what is happening. And if the person has a TBI, too, these feelings of lack of control and fear can balloon into confusion, challenges with memory, or intense emotion.
Signs and symptoms
Generally, symptoms of PTSD can occur when a person re-experiences the traumatic event, tries to avoid thinking about the event, or is experiencing high levels of anxiety related to the event. Some of the most common symptoms include:
Having recurrent nightmares
Acting or feeling as though the traumatic event were happening again, sometimes called a “flashback”
Being physically responsive, such as experiencing a surge in your heart rate or sweating, to reminders of the traumatic event
Having a difficult time falling or staying asleep
Feeling more irritable or having outbursts of anger
Feeling constantly “on guard” or like danger is lurking around every corner
Making an effort to avoid thoughts, feelings, or conversations about the traumatic event
A loss of interest in important, once positive, activities
Experiencing difficulties having positive feelings, such as happiness or love
