Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is a mental health issue that some people who have encountered or seen a horrific event may develop. A single traumatic incident, such as a natural disaster, major accident, physical or sexual assault, or military conflict, may trigger PTSD. Alternatively, PTSD may develop over time, such as in the case of persistent abuse or violence.
In this episode, Kristen Harper discusses PTSD and how to support those who are affected by it.
