Post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD usually stems from some terrible event or events. A number of military personnel exposed to war come home with PTSD . It is brought about when an individual has been involved in something traumatic or has been in situations of extreme danger.
Experiencing nature’s wrath like earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, or being a victim in a physical or sexual assault are other examples of events that can cause PTSD.
Constant flashbacks, nightmares and agonizing memories of the incident(s) are symptoms of this disorder.
