POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER |
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which can affect anyone at any age, can be difficult to diagnose because there may be a lag between the start of symptoms and the triggering traumatic event.
Because there is still much we don't know about the disorder, it is difficult to predict who will experience it and who won't. There are, however, some common risk factors that seem to make people more susceptible to PTSD.
- Previously experiencing a traumatic event
- History of mental illness
- Lack of social support following the trauma
- Being injured in the course of the event
Diagnosis is made by a qualified mental health practitioner based on a discussion with the person experiencing the symptoms.
