Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop in some people who have experienced a shocking, scary, or dangerous event. Anyone can develop PTSD at any age, but recovery is possible. Learn the signs and symptoms at nimh.nih.gov/PTSD #PTSDAwarenessMonth
Mental disorders affect men and women, but certain symptoms may be more common in men than women, and the course of illness can be affected by a person’s sex. Recognizing the signs that you or someone you love may have a mental illness is the first step toward getting treatment.
