Post-traumatic stress disorder can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, serious accident, terrorist incident, sudden death of a loved one, war, physical assault, emotional or verbal abuse or other life-threatening events. Individuals with PTSD continue to be severely depressed and anxious for months or even years following the event. PTSD is diagnosed after a person experiences symptoms for at least one month following a traumatic event. However symptoms may not appear until several months or even years later.

It often starts suddenly in early adulthood. There is no cure for this illness, but it can be managed with medicine and supportive therapy.

Personality is a way of thinking, feeling, and behaving that makes us unique and individual. A personality disorder is when personality interferes with one’s participation in daily activities causes distress, and differs from cultural expectations, and remains this way over time.
