What Is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?
8. Who’s At Risk
Some of the most likely people to experience post-traumatic stress disorder are those who work for the emergency services. Military personnel who see active duty are also in a higher risk category. Another high risk category is people who suffered from abuse as a child.
People who have undergone prolonged periods of stress are also more prone, as are people who have other mental health conditions. People who have a history of mental health conditions in the family are also in a higher risk category. Also at risk are people who don’t have access to a support system, including friends and family.
