Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (ptsd) by Discuss247: 2:11pm On Dec 29, 2019
Recently I have been receiving lots of mails on this health bothering issue which have circulated the modern human society as a result of undesirable events which have either left us heartbroken or mentally drained.

I wouldn't love to say this, but I have to... Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is prevailing over the lives of many across the globe. Love it or hate it, it's almost close to becoming an epidermic.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition which occurs as a result of experiencing or having experienced a shocking, scary, terrifying, or dangerous event. PTSD is a mental disorder which results from current or previous terrific and horrible experience which comes to play in the mind or in the head of the patience.

It commonly occurs or does occurs after you have been through a trauma; after you have gone through a traumatic event or situation. Then, the next question is; what is a trauma or a traumatic event?

Trauma according to Wikipedia; "Trauma is often the result of an overwhelming amount of stress that exceeds one's ability to cope, or integrate the emotions involved with that experience. Trauma may result from a single distressing experience or recurring events of being overwhelmed that can be precipitated in weeks, years, or even decades as the person struggles to cope with the immediate circumstances, eventually leading to serious, long-term negative consequences".

Then on the other hand, Trauma situation or event is cleared explained as "an incident that causes physical, emotional, spiritual, or psychological harm. The person experiencing the distressing event may feel threatened, anxious, or frightened as a result".

Having known what Trauma and traumatic situation is, let's move on to getting deeper into PTSD as it is our major focus.

Going through this terrific situation called trauma is not the big deal as it's common to every being based on the law of expectation and our over attached emotions. According to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 6 of every 10 men (or 60%) and 5 of every 10 women (or 50%) experience at least one trauma in their lives, the women are more likely to experience sexual assault and child sexual abuse while on the other hand, men are more likely to experience accidents, physical assault, combat, disaster, or to witness death or injury.
