Post-traumatic stress disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychological condition that arises after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It manifests as ongoing mental and emotional distress, often accompanied by sleep disturbances and recurring vivid memories of the traumatic experience. It is estimated that around 6% of the population, or 6 out of 100 individuals, will experience PTSD at some stage in their lives.
