What Is Post Traumatic Stress?
5. Who is Affected?
Anyone can be affected by PTSD. Roughly seven or eight out of every 100 people suffer from this condition in the United States. PTSD is more common in women than men, but it can affect any individual at any age.
Individuals don’t have to directly experience traumatic events to develop PTSD. This mental health condition also affects people whose loved ones have suffered a tragedy. Sudden death or a major accident in the family can affect young people in particular.
