What is PTSD?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD is a serious mental health condition that can develop after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event such as physical or sexual assault, war, natural disasters, or accidents.
The symptoms of PTSD can vary from person to person, but they often include:
- High levels of arousal, irritability, feeling on edge, difficulty relaxing or stopping still
- Flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts
- Avoidance behaviours – attempts to stay away from reminders of the traumatic event
Feelings of shame, guilt, anger and sadness

Can you benefit from seeing one of our psychologists?
It’s normal to feel scared, distressed or shaken up after experiencing a traumatic event. However, if these symptoms last more than a few months, you may be experiencing PTSD. In particular, if you are finding that your thoughts and emotions about the event are disrupting your day-to-day life, it’s important to seek help.
