Trauma and Stressor Related Disorders
Trauma can result from a wide range of experiences, including abuse, accidents, natural disasters, medical emergencies, loss, or exposure to violence. While not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD, some individuals may struggle with ongoing symptoms that interfere with daily life. Trauma can have profound and lasting effects on individuals of all ages, impacting mental health, relationships, and overall quality of life. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other trauma- and stressor-related disorders can disrupt daily functioning and create overwhelming emotional challenges.
