Fear, panic, a sense of threat. This is how the psyche may react after experiencing trauma

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can affect not only direct witnesses of tragic events but also their families. Symptoms may arise immediately or after some time, and trauma can be direct or indirect. Direct trauma involves witnessing an event, while indirect trauma occurs through media exposure. Reactions can vary, with some experiencing delayed symptoms. Triggers may include sounds or situations reminiscent of the trauma. Signs of PTSD include anxiety, withdrawal from social life, and panic attacks. It's crucial to recognize when these reactions disrupt daily life and seek professional help if necessary. Techniques like controlled breathing can help manage anxiety during panic attacks.
