What is PTSD?
PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing trauma. It’s more than just a bad memory—PTSD rewires how your brain processes stress and danger, often leading to emotional distress and physical symptoms that don’t go away on their own.
If you’ve been feeling hyper-alert, disconnected, or trapped in past events, trauma-informed psychiatric care can help.

7 signs of PTSD you shouldn’t ignore
PTSD isn’t just “struggling to move on.” It’s a serious mental health condition that can affect your emotions, focus, sleep, and sense of safety. Left untreated, PTSD can impact your daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.
Here are 7 signs of PTSD you shouldn’t ignore—especially if they’ve been affecting you for weeks or months.
1Intrusive memories or flashbacks You relive the trauma through distressing memories or nightmares that feel intense and uncontrollable.
2Avoidance of people or places You steer clear of reminders of the trauma—sometimes even avoiding emotions, conversations, or support.
3Sleep problems and nightmares Falling asleep or staying asleep is difficult. You may wake from vivid dreams or feel unrested every morning.
4Negative thoughts or mood changes You feel emotionally flat, guilty, ashamed, or disconnected from others and from yourself.
5Hypervigilance or feeling on edge You constantly feel jumpy, alert, or tense—like danger could strike at any moment.
6Loss of interest or motivation Things you once cared about no longer spark joy. You may feel numb or hopeless.
7Irritability, anger, or outbursts Small things set you off. You might feel like you're always holding back frustration or rage.
