Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychological and behavioral condition. Its symptoms may include disturbing thoughts, feelings, or dreams about the events, mental or physical distress to trauma-related cues, attempts to avoid trauma-related cues, changes in a person’s thinking and feelings, and an increase in the fight-or-flight response.
These symptoms persist for more than a month following the event. Young children are less likely to exhibit distress and may instead express their memories through play. Suicide and intentional self-harm are more likely in people who have PTSD.
If you know someone struggling with PTSD please call a doctor immediately, so that they can refer them to the right institution and help them assess what they are dealing with right now.

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is formerly known as National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. It will replace 1-800-273-8255 (TALK), which is a very long number and not easy to remember to 988, which is like 911 for emergency response. The idea behind 988 was to make it easy for people who are suffering mental and emotional distress to get assistance as soon as possible.

Experiencing the loss of a loved one can be traumatic and truly heartbreaking. The mourning process can be confusing, and you may feel your life will never be the same.
Grief is different for everyone, but most people would agree that dealing with loss can take a toll on your mental health. Feelings of sadness, anger, loneliness, and hopelessness are all common emotions people experience during the grieving process.

Although it can be difficult to admit, if you are struggling to move past your grief, you should get professional help. Likewise, if you feel your loved one has had an exceptionally difficult time grieving a loss, you should encourage them to talk to a psychiatrist for treatment.
