Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the result of experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event or series of events, such as natural disasters, serious accidents, terrorist acts, war/combat, assault, domestic violence and bullying. It affects approximately 3.5 percent of U.S. adults every year (twice as many of which are women) and will be diagnosed in an estimated one in 11 people in their lifetime. Catherine O’Brien, MS, PMHNP-BC, PMHCS-BC  will discuss how to recognize PTSD, and what treatments and options are available.
