10 Causes Of Night Terrors In Toddlers
Cause #7: PTSD
PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, is a condition that’s caused by a person experiencing a seriously traumatic situation. Situations similar to those that were traumatic can cause flashbacks or anxiety, and can contribute to nightmares.
It’s not terribly common for toddlers to suffer from PTSD, but it does happen. If a toddler has gone through something seriously stressful during their infancy, they may be triggered by certain things as they grow older. It is a good idea to try to identify the problem before it progresses into a more serious issue.
