    Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops after exposure to a traumatic or stressful event. Memories of the trauma remain vivid and fragmented, and the person has a constant sense of threat. They avoid reminders of the trauma to prevent distressing memories from surfacing, but this avoidance means the memories and unhelpful beliefs about themselves and the world remain unchanged.
