Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is defined as an illness or disorder which is triggered by an
emotionally distressing
event which is outside the range of normal human experience.
The chances are that sometime in your life you may experience some kind of trauma.
Hopefully, although the episode is painful and distressing, you
will be able to cope without the experience causing lasting problems.
Occasionlly however, you may encounter a trauma so great that feelings of intense fear and
helplessness occur. As a
result you may experience Post Traumatic Stress. Over time some people may devlop Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder.
PTSD does not
respect age, culture or gender. The effects can last for months or even years, and can have a
devastating
effect on sufferers and there families.
