What is PTSD?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a distressing or traumatic event. It affects your thoughts, emotions, memory, and daily functioning. It is more than just feeling stressed or scared for a few days. When PTSD continues for weeks or months, it can cause flashbacks, nightmares, and intense emotional reactions that make everyday life feel difficult.
In Kerala, people may describe it as “overthinking,” “shock,” or “manasika vedana,” but it is a recognized medical condition, not a personal weakness. Clinically, PTSD is classified under ICD-10 code F43.1. Globally, millions of people experience PTSD, making it an important mental health concern. The good news is that PTSD is treatable with the right support, therapy, and care.
