Title: Why PTSD Isn’t Just for War Veterans - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: First appearing in 1980 in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) published by the American Psychiatric Association, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is suffered by individuals who have experienced severe trauma in their lives. While the nature of the trauma can vary, PTSD is perhaps best known for its association with service men and women returning from conflict, and many are unaware (or unaccepting) of the fact that just about anyone who has been through a traumatic event, can suffer from this mental health condition. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
