What is Trauma?
Going through very stressful, frightening, or distressing events is sometimes called trauma. A traumatic event could be something that happened to you or something you saw happen to someone else. Emotional and psychological trauma can be caused by:
- One-time events, a car accident, critical injury, or a violent attack
- Ongoing, relentless stress, battling a life-threatening illness or living in a crime-ridden neighborhood
- Commonly overlooked causes, such as surgery or the sudden death of someone close
It’s normal to have upsetting memories, feel on edge, or have trouble sleeping after these types of events. When a person does not see improvements with their symptoms, they might be at risk of developing a
psychological disorder, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Acute Stress Disorder, Depressive Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, or Phobias.
