PTSD Awareness day is right around the corner. What are common signs?
1) Intrusive Memories (Re-experiencing): Unwanted, distressing memories, vivid nightmares, or flashbacks where you feel like you are actively reliving the trauma.
2) Avoidance: Actively dodging thoughts, feelings, conversations, people, places, or activities that serve as reminders of the traumatic event
3) Hyperarousal (Reactivity): Being easily startled, constantly on high alert (hypervigilance), experiencing angry outbursts, or engaging in reckless, self-destructive behavior.
4) Negative Changes in Mood and Thinking: Feeling emotionally numb, detached from loved ones, losing interest in previously enjoyed activities, or having distorted beliefs about oneself or the world.
5) Sleep Disturbances: Chronic insomnia, restless sleep, or frequent, intense nightmares that disrupt daily functioning
