PTSD

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety problem that develops in some people after extremely terrifying events (either witnessing or experiencing trauma firsthand), such as combat, crime, an accident or natural disaster. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Symptoms can worsen over time, last for months or even years, and interfere with day-to-day functioning.
