Important Signs and Symptoms of PTSD You Shouldn't Ignore
December 5, 2017
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects about one in ten Canadians and seven to eight percent of the U.S. population. PTSD is a severe mental health condition caused by experiencing a traumatic event or series of events. PTSD can affect anyone but does not affect everyone who experiences trauma. For some people, after experiencing trauma, with self-care and as time passes, they get better. If the symptoms remain and get worse, lasting months or years and interfering with daily functioning, the reason might be PTSD.
