Searching for a Cure for PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a complex condition that can affect anyone who has experienced some kind of trauma. Victims of assault, veterans, and survivors of a natural disaster are often prone to developing PTSD.

In the aftermath of a life-altering event, people may find themselves feeling irritable, anxious, or strangely detached from everything. Their friends and family usually notice the change in personality and become concerned.
