What is PTSD?
PTSD seems to be all over the news these days.
However, many people don't fully understand what it is. One place that has a lot of useful information about PTSD is the US Department of Veteran Affairs. In their words:
"Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can occur after someone goes through a traumatic event like combat, assault, or disaster. Most people have some stress reactions after a trauma. If the reactions don't go away over time or disrupt your life, you may have PTSD."
