Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. It often develops after experiencing or witnessing traumatic events like physical or sexual assault, accidents, or disasters.

Some factors make certain people more vulnerable to PTSD:

• Women: Studies show that women are more likely to develop PTSD than men.
• Veterans: Combat exposure makes veterans particularly susceptible to this disorder.
• Family Trauma: Learning that a family member or close friend has experienced trauma can also lead to PTSD.

While not everyone who experiences trauma will develop PTSD, those affected may feel stressed or frightened even when they are not in danger. Learn more about PTSD by visiting the NIH resource on PTSD.
