What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition outlined in the DSM-5 that can develop in individuals who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. PTSD is characterized intrusive thoughts, nightmares, or flashbacks related to the traumatic event. Individuals with PTSD often avoid reminders of the trauma, experience negative changes in mood and cognition, such as persistent negative emotions, distorted blame of oneself or others, and feelings of detachment from others. They may also have heightened arousal, which can manifest as irritability, difficulty sleeping, and an exaggerated startle response.

Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) is a mental health condition recognized in the ICD-11. It primarily affects individuals who have experienced prolonged and severe trauma, such as repeated physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, or prolonged exposure to stressful and traumatic situations, often in a relational context. C-PTSD is characterized by disturbances in self-identity, affect regulation, and interpersonal relationships.
