PTSD

What is PTSD

Almost everyone will Experience a traumatic event in their lifetime. Initially we may be very upset, frightened or sad. Usually over time grief passes the pain lessens, and life becomes relatively normal.

However, some people may experience life threatening situations that are so distressing that the memory does not fade.  They begin to live their lives trying to avoid reminders of what has happened to them.  These people may be experiencing Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).  PTSD is a serious condition that elicits emotional, physiological, and physiological responses.
