When an individual experiences an overwhelming and extremely tense event, it can lead to trauma. Trauma can impact your sense of security which can lead to unbearably anxious and helpless feelings.

PTSD stands for post-traumatic stress disorder and is a mental health condition that's rooted in experiencing or witnessing a frightening, traumatic event. Symptoms may include:

  • Flashbacks
  • Nightmares
  • Severe anxiety
  • Uncontrollable and overpowering thoughts about the event or occurrence
