Transcript

You may know that you need treatment

if you're experiencing some of the symptoms of PTSD:

numbness, avoidance of people and situations

that remind you of the trauma, increased arousal, hyper-arousal,

hyper-vigilance, and kind of re-experiencing the event,

the trauma itself, through nightmares, and flashbacks,

and intrusive thoughts.

You may also need treatment if others close to you

are bringing it to your attention that you're maybe agitated,

you're avoidant, you're having difficulty kind of

showing emotions and connecting with the people close to you.
