PTSD

Posttraumatic stress disorder, what is it. (PTSD) is defined as a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, or rape or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence or serious injury. As a black person I know many of us grow up in areas where we see people shot, kill, bullied, threatened. Learning your child or someone close to you was violently killed. For some of us it is common yet we do not get the support. We are expected to go on as if nothing happen
