Post-traumatic stress

If you are experiencing post-traumatic stress you will be familiar with the description of the fight-or-flight response. At some point a life-threatening event will have triggered a powerful stress reaction. It is natural after such an event to experience upsetting memories, have trouble sleeping and concentrating. If these symptoms persist for months or even years after the event you may be diagnosed as suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
