The National Center for P.T.S.D. estimates that approximately 12 million adults experience P.T.S.D. during a given year, although anyone can develop P.T.S.D. at any age.
Some types of trauma that may cause P.T.S.D. include:
• Exposure to war and combat

Someone suffering with P.T.S.D. may experience side effects such as anger, depression,
substance abuse, and grief.
