While it is normal to feel fear or stress after such situations, PTSD occurs when these feelings persist and begin to affect daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traumatic events such as accidents, abuse, natural disasters, or sudden loss can leave a lasting emotional impact. In some cases, symptoms may appear immediately, while in others they may take time to develop.
