Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychologically distressing event that can occur at any age and from any number of reasons. Common reasons that trigger PTSD are child abuse, a natural disaster like a hurricane or fire, accidents, witnessing a horrible scene such as a murder, war, or other traumatic event. Most people with PTSD experience the event psychologically over and over again, or, they may avoid all thoughts and feelings about what happened. Sometimes people feel disconnected with reality and other people, have a hard time concentrating, and have physical side effects such as nausea, headaches, body aches, or other problems.
