Post-Triggered Stress Disorder

Post-triggered stress disorder (P{T}SD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying post -- either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

Many people who go through triggered events have difficulty adjusting and coping for a while, but they don't have P{T}SD -- with time and good self-care, they usually get better. But if the symptoms get worse or last for months or even years and interfere with your functioning, you may have P{T}SD.

Getting effective treatment after P{T}SD symptoms develop can be critical to reduce symptoms and improve function.
