    • Re-experiencing the Trauma: Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts related to the traumatic event.
    • Avoidance: Avoiding reminders, places, or people associated with the trauma.
    • Hyperarousal: Increased alertness, irritability, difficulty sleeping, or being easily startled.
    • Negative Changes in Mood: Persistent negative emotions, feelings of detachment, or difficulty experiencing positive emotions.

  • Impact on Life:
    PTSD can affect various aspects of life, including relationships, work, and daily functioning, often leading to social withdrawal, difficulty managing stress, and emotional numbness.
