Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Providing Understanding and Support

Right after a trauma, almost every survivor will find himself or herself unable to stop thinking about what happened.

Stress reactions, such as increased fear, nervousness, jumpiness, upsetting memories, and efforts to avoid reminders, will gradually decrease over time for most people.

The key is to recognize the impact of the trauma and to rely on appropriate support and treatment.
