How To Handle PTSD  

“PTSD comes from some type of traumatic event,” said Colleen Cira, PsyD., a psychologist who specializes in women and trauma.  “It can include things like war, car accidents, rape, physical assault, or even verbal and emotional abuse. Basically, any kind of scary or disturbing event that overwhelms our ability to cope falls into the PTSD category.”

One of the common causes of post-traumatic stress disorder is the occurrence of a life-changing event that one is not prepared for. An example of this is experiencing a loss of a loved one, ending a long-term relationship or quitting a career. At the same time, trauma can also result in this kind of mental disorder. Luckily, there are some proven effective ways on how to handle this kind of disease.
