Overview

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) ek serious psychiatric condition hai jo kisi traumatic event ke baad develop ho sakti hai. Trauma physical assault, accident, natural disaster, war exposure, abuse ya kisi life-threatening incident se related ho sakta hai.

Har traumatic experience PTSD me convert nahi hota, lekin kuch individuals me brain stress-response system prolonged activated state me chala jata hai, jisse persistent psychological symptoms develop hote hain. Yeh condition daily functioning, relationships aur occupational performance ko significantly impact kar sakti hai.


What is Trauma?

Trauma wo event hota hai jo intense fear, helplessness ya horror generate karta hai. PTSD me traumatic memory properly process nahi ho pati, jisse person baar-baar us event ko mentally re-experience karta hai.
