Trauma and PTSD

From the May 2016 Benefits eNews

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a very real illness that can make daily life deeply uncomfortable. Traumatic events that can trigger PTSD include violent personal and/or sexual assaults, natural disasters, military combat, accidents, mass violence incidents, childhood abuse, or a loved one’s sudden death. People who suffer with PTSD aren’t “crazy” or “weak.” Experienced by over seven million U.S. adults annually, PTSD alters and disrupts brain chemistry—requiring professional intervention just like cancer or diabetes.
