10 prompts for helping with PTSD

This week has been a bad mental week for me personally. So, I decided to write a post with prompts to help me and maybe someone reading this.

Let's start with what PTSD is. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop in individuals who have experienced a traumatic event or events. It often leads to distressing symptoms that interfere with a person's daily life. If you're looking for prompts or topics related to PTSD for discussion, research, or awareness, here are some suggestions:

• What is PTSD, and what are the common causes or triggers of this disorder?

• The symptoms and diagnostic criteria of PTSD. How does PTSD affect the brain and the body? Explore the neurobiological aspects.
