Join us each month as UAB neuroscientists and clinicians present and discuss how neuroscience research is improving life in your community.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. Most people who go through traumatic events may have temporary difficulty adjusting and coping, but with time and good self-care, they usually get better. If the symptoms get worse, last for months or even years, and interfere with your day-to-day functioning, you may have PTSD. Join us as Drs. David Knight and Amy Knight discuss how getting effective treatment after PTSD symptoms develop can be critical to reducing symptoms and improving function.
This event is free.
