What is PTSD?
The CBT Podcast - A podcast by CBT Kenya
People with PTSD have intense, disturbing thoughts related to their experience that last long after the traumatic event has ended. Most survivors of trauma return to normal given a little time. However, some people will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own or may even get worse over time. These individuals may develop PTSD. A diagnosis of PTSD requires exposure to an upsetting traumatic event. However, exposure could be indirect rather than first hand.
