PTSD, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, can result from any unpleasant experience. It's an emotional response to an intense experience that causes stress and compromises the individual's ability to cope with it.

PTSD can result from a single distressing event or multiple such events over time. As each individual is different, so is their reaction to various experiences.

Abusive relationships and childhood trauma, such as neglect, abuse, or bullying, are common causes of PTSD. For some, the symptoms of PTSD fade with time, but for others, they may linger on and give rise to depression and anxiety. If so, it's highly advisable to seek the professional help of a therapist or psychologist.

Symptoms of PTSD

PTSD causes varying symptoms in different individuals. The most common PTSD symptoms include:

● Flashback of the trauma

● Anxiety

● Depression

● Insomnia and sleeping difficulty

● Nightmares and panic attacks

● Emotional detachment

● Substance abuse for avoiding emotions

● Low confidence
