PTSD AND YOUR BRAIN
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition resulting from the exposure to a traumatic event that threatens one's life or safety. The brain's alarm system becomes overly sensitive, causing the brain's parts responsible for thinking and memory to stop functioning properly. PTSD can cause distinct biological changes in the brain, which can be observed through neuroimaging. Symptoms include intrusive thoughts, hyperarousal, flashbacks, nightmares, sleep disturbances, changes in memory, and negative reactions to situations or people that remind them of the traumatic event. A diagnosis of PTSD requires exposure to an upsetting traumatic event. Therapy can help people with PTSD understand their triggers and manage stress responses.
