How can I know if someone needs help with post traumatic stress disorder?
Look for any dramatic change in behavior after an incident. Irritability alternating with indifference, marked anxiety, avoidance of reminders of the accident, or obsessive concern with the details of the accident can all occur in trauma victims. Complaints of pain with no apparent physical cause are more frequent in patients with undiagnosed PTSD. Depression or .just not having it together. may also be important cues.
