Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is considered one of the most dangerous psychological conditions a child can experience. It results from exposure to a traumatic event that overwhelms the child’s emotional capacity—such as domestic violence, war, disasters, or the loss of a loved one.
Common symptoms include:
Frequent nightmares or intrusive memories
Social withdrawal from friends and family
High levels of anxiety or fear
Behavioral changes such as anger or aggression
Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
If left untreated, PTSD can significantly impair a child’s social, academic, and even neurological development.
Effective treatment includes:
Ongoing emotional support from family
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Intervention by a trained child psychologist
It is essential to treat a child with PTSD with compassion and understanding, providing a safe environment that fosters healing and trust.
