It’s common among people who have survived war and battlefield situations. But people who have been in car accidents, natural disasters and dangerous situations also suffer from this crippling disorder.

But you don’t have to struggle with this disorder and depression. Instead you can decide to get help and call Sunset Malibu at 1-800-332-9202.
Causes of PTSD
People used to think that only soldiers returning from the battlefield suffered from PTSD. That’s because so many of them did have lingering problems and depression related to their experience. They would have nightmares and flashbacks about battles. During the day they might think that a bomb is going off. They could hear a car backfire or a champagne bottle pop and instantly think it’s a gunshot. PTSD made life unlivable for many soldiers. But so many others situations can cause the disorder, too. Fires, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes wreak havoc when they happen. These natural disasters cause devastation. People who have lived through them can suffer from post-traumatic stress.
If they were in the storm itself with the actual danger frightening them it can be worse. But PTSD can also hit those who weren’t in actual danger during the storm. Once they see the damage that was done, if they’re home was damaged or destroyed, it can trigger that trauma response. Constant reminders of the damage can make it worse, and can even make them sick. People who suffer from post-traumatic stress may go out of their way to avoid thinking or talking about the trauma. Children who were abused can also suffer from this disorder.
