PTSD Symptoms
PTSD symptoms can include intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance, hypervigilance, irritability, sleep problems, emotional numbing, and feeling disconnected from other people or from daily life. Some symptoms are obvious. Others are easier to misread as anxiety, burnout, or mood issues.
Recognizing the symptom pattern can make it easier to seek the right type of support.
