PTSD Awareness

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, also known as PTSD, is a condition that can last for months or years, where certain present day events, sounds, smells or other conditions can trigger memories of a trauma with intense emotional or physical reactions. Many men and women who have experienced combat conditions while serving in the Armed Forces can experience PTSD. PTSD can be experienced with other traumatic events such as a tragic accident or abuse of any type.
