PTSD symptoms can develop weeks or months, or sometimes even years, following a catastrophic event. Along with survivors of natural disasters, wars, and acts of terrorism, people who have been the victims of violent crime or torture often develop symptoms of PTSD.
PTSD symptoms vary among individuals and also vary in severity from mild to disabling. PTSD Symptoms can include one or more of the following:
- "flashbacks" about the traumatic event
- feelings of estrangement or detachment
- nightmares
- sleep disturbances
- impaired functioning
- occupational instability
- memory disturbances
- family discord
- parenting or marital difficulties
