PTSD symptoms often manifest in a variety of ways, affecting emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being. Common symptoms include intrusive memories, such as flashbacks and nightmares, where individuals relive traumatic events vividly. Avoidance behaviors are also prevalent, with individuals steering clear of places, people, or situations that remind them of their trauma. Emotional changes, including heightened anxiety, irritability, and mood swings, are typical, as are difficulties with concentration and memory. Additionally, many individuals experience physical symptoms, such as insomnia, fatigue, and an overwhelming sense of emotional numbness or detachment from others.
