What is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) refers to a mental health disorder that is triggered by a traumatic event. Any event that is perceived as traumatic to an individual can trigger PTSD. PTSD causes an individual to frequently feel a heightened sense of danger. The natural fight-or-flight response is accentuated and easily triggered along with feelings of stress or fear simply even when in reality there is no danger. These feelings can negatively affect every aspect of one’s life – relationships, sleep, job, school, sleep, physical and mental health.

It can happen to anyone at any age. Some seem more likely to develop PTSD compared to others and researchers are not quite sure why, but it does seem evident that an individual is more likely to develop PTSD if the trauma was severe or it lasted a long time.

What are the Symptoms of PTSD?

Symptoms of PTSD vary depending on the trauma, age, and even gender.
Some common symptoms include:
  • Unpleasant flashbacks and nightmares
  • Anxiety
  • Avoidance of situations that feel similar or trigger a reaction
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Bouts of anger
  • Depression
  • Distorted feelings of guilt or blame
  • Panic attacks
  • Irritability

How is PTSD Treated?

Treatment of PTSD involves psychotherapy, medication or the combination of both. Many therapists find that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and “talk therapy” can help individuals effectively process the traumatic event and remove the negative thinking patterns that have set in.


Medications that may help with symptoms include antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. Both sertraline (Zoloft) and paroxetine (Paxil) are two FDA-approved antidepressants to treat PTSD. Healthy life practices such as exercise, sleep, a balanced diet along with support from friends and family can help individuals with PTSD cope and manage their symptoms.
