What is PTSD?
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition. The biggest reason for this is some big and terrible incident happened in life, due to which you or your close ones are in danger. When a person is unable to forget that incident even after a million attempts and goes into flashback again and again, it has a bad effect on mental health. If things are missed, then they start affecting the daily tasks as well. It has nothing to do with age. It can happen to a person of any age and gender. PTSD is caused by chemical and neurologic changes in the brain after a traumatic or traumatic event.
