Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Linked to Motor Vehicle Accidents

Automobile accidents found to be the leading cause of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) according to “After the Crash: Assessment and Treatment of Motor Vehicle Accident Survivors.” That may come as a surprise because we generally focus on the physical damages we sustain following a motor vehicle collision such as broken bones, cuts, and concussions. However, PTSD is a serious condition. It can arise after experiencing a traumatic event involving serious physical injuries or the threat of serious injuries.

The problem with PTSD is that it may be difficult to diagnose. Symptoms often do not appear right away. In fact, research has shown that PTSD was common in individuals examined a year after a experiencing a traumatic injury. Unfortunately, serious injuries can have life long consequences on an individual’s mental health. 

It is important to recognize the symptoms of PTSD and the dangers of letting the condition go untreated, please read our article to get better educated on this disorder.
