Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a specific psychological condition that may develop after exposure to a traumatic event. It is characterized by symptoms like re-experiencing the trauma through nightmares or flashbacks, emotional numbing, hyperarousal, and avoidance of triggers associated with the traumatic event. PTSD can significantly impact an individual’s daily functioning and well-being and may require professional treatment for recovery.
