PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as combat, assault, accidents, or disasters. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance, mood changes, and increased anxiety. PTSD is not a sign of weakness but a natural response to an overwhelming event. It is important to understand that PTSD is treatable, and with appropriate care, individuals can heal and regain control of their lives.  If PTSD is impacting your daily life, relationships, or overall well-being, support is available.
