Past-Traumatic Stress Disorders

Key Symptoms of PTSD

At Psychiatric Clinic Dr. Jaswant Singh, we often see patients exhibiting the following hallmark symptoms of PTSD:

• Intrusive Thoughts: Unwanted, distressing memories of the traumatic event may invade daily life. Flashbacks, where the person feels they are reliving the event, are common.
• Avoidance: People may avoid places, activities, or even conversations that remind them of the trauma.
• Negative Changes in Thinking and Mood: Individuals might struggle with feelings of hopelessness, detachment from others, and difficulty experiencing positive emotions.
• Heightened Reactions: Constant anxiety, irritability, sleep disturbances, and exaggerated startle responses are typical signs of PTSD.
