Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Can occur after exposure to a traumatic event such as actual or threatened death, serious injury or violence
You can be exposed to traumatic events directly, or by witnessing or responding to the event, or learning that a relative or close friend/colleague was exposed, or through repeated exposure to details of the traumatic event
Thoughts or memories of these events can seriously affect your life long after the event
