What is PTSD?

Nightmares about the event
Severe emotional or physical reactions to reminders
• Avoidance
Avoiding places, activities, or people that remind you of the trauma
Trying to avoid thinking or talking about the traumatic event
• Negative Changes in Thinking and Mood
Difficulty maintaining close relationships
Feeling detached from family and friends
Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
Feeling hopeless about the future
• Changes in Physical and Emotional Reactions
Being easily startled or frightened
Always being on guard for danger
Trouble sleeping or concentrating
Irritability or aggressive behavior
Overwhelming guilt or shame
