Colleagues,
According to the National Center for PTSD, "[a]t least 50% of all adults and children
are exposed to a psychologically traumatic event . . . and [a]s many as 67% of trauma
survivors experience lasting psychosocial impairment, including post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD); panic, phobic, or generalized anxiety disorders; depression; or substance
abuse."

Sleep and PTSD
Many people suffer from problems with their sleep. This can be especially true for those who have witnessed or experienced one or more traumatic events such as rape, military combat, natural disasters, beatings, or neighborhood violence.

8. NATIONAL CENTER FOR PTSD
Anger and Trauma
Anger is usually a central feature of a survivor's response to trauma because it is a core component of the survival response in humans. Anger helps people cope with life's adversities by providing us with increased energy to persist in the face of obstacles. However, uncontrolled anger can lead to a continued sense of being out of control of oneself and can create multiple problems in the personal lives of those who suffer from PTSD.
