#mentalhealth #ptsdawareness Some insight from the National Center for PTSD: For people with PTSD (Post traumatic Stress Disorder), distress often occurs when a cue is presented that is in some way related to the memory of the initial trauma. Sometimes trauma cues are expected, like anniversaries or holidays, and sometimes unexpected, like when a natural disaster occurs. Anniversary reactions can occur during specific events such as birthdays, holidays, and times during which a loved one may be particularly missed. These cues might also include the dates of national events such as September 11 or a military holiday, or individually cues related to a specific person's trauma. As Veteran's Day and other holidays are approaching, it's helpful to understand trauma-relates cues and how to help a loved one experiencing PTSD symptoms.
