What are the signs and symptoms of PTSD?
Depending of the person PTSD can present very different symptoms. Symptoms can take time to develop and don’t usually follow a pattern. Often, when things or situations remind the person of the experience, the person can relive the event as in their head just like it was happening all over again.
