What Is PTSD?
PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. For teens, it can stem from a variety of situations, including bullying, abuse, accidents, or the loss of a loved one. PTSD affects how a teen processes emotions and responds to stress, often interfering with their daily life. Teens with PTSD might relive their trauma through flashbacks or nightmares, avoid situations that remind them of their experience, or feel on edge and overwhelmed. Understanding PTSD is the first step in providing the right care and support for recovery.
Symptoms of PTSD in Teens
PTSD presents differently in every individual, but common symptoms include:
Reliving the traumatic event through vivid memories or unsettling dreams.
Steering clear of places, people, or activities that might trigger memories of the trauma.
Constantly feeling on alert or easily startled, as if danger is always nearby.
Experiencing emotional numbness, irritability, or a loss of interest in favorite activities.
