If you have problems getting restful sleep, it could be triggered by a sleep disorder or even post-traumatic stress disorder. Up to 70 million U.S. adults have trouble sleeping, and several million have mental health symptoms. Symptoms of either can be managed, allowing you to get a good night’s sleep.
PTSD, like other mental health conditions, varies in duration according to several factors, including the type of trauma you experienced, how long this trauma lasted, and the way this trauma affected you biologically.
PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) is a mental health condition caused by experiencing or witnessing something traumatic. Most people will go through something sufficiently traumatic in their life, but other factors may contribute to the development of this condition. As much as 8% of the population will have PTSD at some point.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) PTSD is short for post-traumatic stress disorder, a mental health condition that some people develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatizing event. Examples of common triggers for PTSD include natural disasters, vehicular accidents, war or live combat, or violent personal assault.
