Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - Psychiatric Help and Therapy
PTSD is the onset of a specific set of symptoms in response to an extreme traumatic event in one's life. It is not necessary for the traumatic event to be perceived as extremely traumatic for everybody. This basically means that as we have different tolerance to pain, cold, heat and hunger we have a different tolerance for extreme traumatic events. The disease is gender-independent, affecting both men and women of all ages. The causes of post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as the events leading to it, are just as varied.
