Understanding PTSD
 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) 
is a complex psychiatric condition 
that can develop after experiencing 
or witnessing a traumatic event. 
While it's natural to feel afraid during 
and after traumatic situations, PTSD 
occurs when these reactions persist 
and interfere with daily life.
 The "fight-or-flight" response is our 
body's natural defense mechanism 
against danger. However, in PTSD, 
this response becomes disrupted, 
leading to neurochemical changes 
that can make it difficult to process 
memories and manage anxiety. This 
can cause individuals to re-
experience trauma-related feelings as 
if the event were occurring in the 
present.
