They also may come and go over many years. PTSD symptoms usually start soon after the traumatic event, but they may not appear until months or years later. Symptoms may not be exactly the same for everyone. There are four type of PTSD symptoms: reliving the event (nightmares, flashbacks, or triggers), avoiding situations that remind you of the event, negative changes in beliefs and feelings, and feeling keyed up (hyperarousal). Stress can make PTSD more likely, while social support can make it less likely. What happens after the traumatic event is also important. Personal factors, like previous traumatic exposure, age, and gender, can affect whether or not a person will develop PTSD. About 10 of every 100 women (or 10%) develop PTSD sometime in their lives compared with about 4 of every 100 men (or 4%).This is only a small portion of those who have gone through a trauma. About 8 million adults have PTSD during a given year.About 7 or 8 out of every 100 people (or 7-8% of the population) will have PTSD at some point in their lives.PTSD is also more common after certain types of trauma, like combat and sexual assault.
For example, having a very intense or long-lasting traumatic event or getting injured during the event can make it more likely that a person will develop PTSD. A number of factors can increase the chance that someone will have PTSD, many of which are not under that person's control. For some people, PTSD symptoms may start later on, or they may come and go over time.
If it's been longer than a few months and you're still having symptoms, you may have PTSD. But most people start to feel better after a few weeks or months. At first, it may be hard to do normal daily activities, like go to work, go to school, or spend time with people you care about. It's normal to have upsetting memories, feel on edge, or have trouble sleeping after this type of event. PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder) is a mental health problem that some people develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event, like combat, a natural disaster, a car accident, or sexual assault.
