The great news is that PTSD is a very treatable condition, and research is continuously improving our understanding and treatment." It’s common to have post-traumatic stress (PTS) after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is when symptoms linger and they’re severe enough to interfere with daily life. For PTSD, there is treatment that works. PTSD treatment can turn someone’s life around, even if they’ve struggled for years.
