PTSD Awareness Day
Designated to raise awareness for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the hope that when more people know about the condition, more people who suffer from it will get proper treatment.
Description
Did you know that more than 1 million Australians at any one time have PTSD?
PTSD is a set of reactions that can occur after someone has been through a traumatic event.
The chance of developing PTSD depends on the type of event experienced, but about 5-10 per cent of Australians will suffer from PTSD at some point in their lives. PTSD is the most common mental health disorder following depression.
