People with PTSD continue to have intense and disturbing thoughts and feelings associated with the traumatic event long after the event has ended. They begin reliving the events through flashbacks and nightmares which make them feel sad, afraid, or angry. They may even feel cut off or alienated from other people.
People with PTSD struggle to make sense of what happened to them or what they witnessed. They might have upsetting images or memories of the most upsetting parts of the trauma, even though they spend a lot of time trying to avoid anything that might remind them of what happened. Spending time with others feels like a lot of work and more stressful, so people with PTSD might withdraw and spend a lot more time alone. Sleep and attention problems are common in PTSD.
Some PTSD triggers can include sights, sounds, smells, or thoughts that remind you of the traumatic event in some way. Some PTSD triggers are obvious, such as seeing a news report of an assault. Others are less clear. For example, if you were attacked on a sunny day, seeing a bright blue sky might make you upset.

To be diagnosed with PTSD, an adult must have all of the following for at least 1 month:

  1. At least one re-experiencing symptom.
  2. At least one avoidance symptom.
  3. At least two arousal and reactivity symptoms.
  4. At least two cognition and mood symptoms.
Having to live with PTSD can seem debilitating for a person, especially one who has seen a lot of violence and been to combat for a very long time. PTSD isn’t necessarily a disability but can easily turn into one since the person is not able to return to work or earn their regular income as they used to before.
