Following a traumatic event, many people have painful memories that will fade over time. For others, however, the memories, thoughts and feelings don’t go away—even months or years later. If stress reactions do not improve over time and disrupt everyday life, it is important to seek help to determine if post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is present. The purpose of PTSD Awareness Month is to raise public awareness of PTSD and effective treatments.
