PTSD can show up in many ways, and symptoms may appear soon after trauma or even months or years later. Common symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, unwanted memories, avoiding reminders of the trauma, feeling numb or detached, guilt or shame, loss of interest in things once enjoyed, feeling constantly โon edge,โ being easily startled, irritability, trouble sleeping, and trouble concentrating.
If symptoms last longer than a month, feel very upsetting, or begin interfering with work, school, home life, or relationships, it may be time to reach out for support. PTSD is treatable, and help is available.
