Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event involving threat, harm, or intense fear. It may arise immediately after the incident or months — even years — later.
Recurrent, unwanted memories of the traumatic event.
Reliving the traumatic event as if it were happening again.
Disturbing dreams related to the trauma.
Intense fear or worry that disrupts daily life.
Avoiding places, people, or activities that remind you of the trauma.
Feeling hopeless, detached, or having negative thoughts about yourself or others.
Being easily startled, having trouble sleeping, or experiencing irritability and anger.
Trouble falling or staying asleep.
Struggling to focus or remember details.
PTSD can develop immediately after someone experiences a disturbing event, or it can occur weeks, months, or even years later. The impact of PTSD on your daily life can be profound, affecting your relationships, work, and overall quality of life.
Some people experience Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) after long-term or repeated trauma such as neglect, abuse, or violence. While symptoms overlap with PTSD, C-PTSD often includes deeper emotional and relational challenges, such as:
Persistent negative beliefs about oneself.
Difficulty managing emotions, leading to emotional instability.
Struggling to connect with others and maintain relationships.
Trouble keeping friends and partners, often due to trust issues and emotional instability.
Complex PTSD can develop if the trauma was experienced early in life, affecting a child’s development, or if the trauma involved being harmed by someone close, or being unable to escape the trauma.
It’s normal to experience upsetting and confusing thoughts after a traumatic event, but most people improve naturally over a few weeks. You should see a GP if you or your child are still having problems about four weeks after the traumatic experience, or if the symptoms are particularly troublesome.
