PTSD is a mental health disorder that is caused by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. There is no timeline for PTSD – it can manifest shortly after the event or can even be triggered years afterwards.
Symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, and are generally categorized into four types: intrusive memories, avoidance, negative changes in thinking and mood, and changes in physical and emotional reactions. De-realization especially is a real thing for those who suffering from PSTD, and is a reoccurring dream that feels so alive and intense, clients feel they are having an out of body experience.
There are variations of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and most Mental Health Professionals are aware that taking the word Disorder out is much more effective towards healing.
