Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
“I just can’t forget, it’s like an open wound that never heals”.
This is how someone with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) might describe how they feel about a traumatic event that happened to them in the past. This can be anything from a serious road accident, a violent personal assault, military combat or being involved in a terrorist attack to name just a few.
It doesn’t matter how long ago it happened they are still unable to forget and as a result it will impinge on their every day life and they might experience regular panic attacks, flash backs, insomnia, nightmares, anxiety, depression, irritability or even self-destructive behaviour. People with PTSD can get stuck and are unable to move forward and it can hold them back for many years to come.
Not everyone that has experienced a traumatic event in their life will develop PTSD but it’s estimated to affect 1 in every 3 people and the condition was only officially recognised as a mental health condition in 1980, even though incidences were documented during the First World War when soldiers developed symptoms as a result of the harrowing conditions they experienced in the trenches.
