Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Feb 28th, 2016

Frightening situations happen to everyone at some point. People can react in many different ways: they might feel nervous, have a hard time sleeping well, or go over the details of the situation in their mind.

Post-traumatic stress disorder, on the other hand, lasts much longer and can seriously disrupt a person’s life.
