What Exactly Does It Mean When We Say Trauma?
Trauma refers to an emotional response to distressing events such as natural disasters, accidents, or abuse. For many individuals, the effects of trauma are temporary, but for others, the distress continues for an extended period and can develop into PTSD. PTSD is a mental health condition that arises after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It is characterized by persistent, distressing memories, heightened reactions, and severe anxiety that interfere with daily functioning.
What is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?
PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, is a condition triggered by exposure to traumatic events. It involves enduring psychological distress and physical symptoms that impair one’s ability to function. While it’s normal to feel scared or anxious after experiencing trauma, people with PTSD face prolonged symptoms that go beyond the initial response. These symptoms can severely disrupt daily life and require professional intervention to manage and alleviate.
