Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a complex disorder that involves having been exposed to a traumatic experience and then persistently re-experiencing the event through flashbacks, nightmares and memories.
It is estimated that around 7% of the population will struggle with PTSD during their life. Women are more likely to be dealing with the disorder.
