Understanding the Impact and Development of PTSD
PTSD can manifest through symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, insomnia, intrusive thoughts, and overwhelming feelings of shame. It can also lead to difficulties in trusting and connecting with others. Not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD, as meaningful relationships and support serve as protective factors. Lack of support, history of abuse, mental health difficulties, and individual temperament can contribute to the development of PTSD.
