Trauma Among Us
Approximately 70% of Americans have lived through a traumatic experience, and it is estimated that up to 20% of them will develop post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a mental health disorder triggered by traumatic experiences. It is associated with changes in brain structure and function and can cause people to relive negative experiences and develop various mood disorders. Due to the wide range of symptoms, this disorder can be misdiagnosed or left untreated and can have a severely negative impact on quality of life, making the need for an effective treatment incredibly important.
