We Know The Symptoms.
PTSD symptoms may include fear of event recurrence, panic attacks, flashbacks to the traumatizing event, restlessness and avoidant behavior. People may have physical symptoms such as headaches or sleeplessness. PTSD symptoms may lead to additional problems, including difficulty concentrating, memory problems and substance abuse.
Experiencing trauma can also cause other mood disorders, either with or without PTSD. Anxiety disorder can cause panic attacks, an increased heart or breathing rate, irrational fears, and compulsive or obsessive behaviors. Clinical depression can cause feelings of sadness, hopelessness, worthlessness and suicidal thoughts.
If PTSD or anxiety disorder and depression have impaired your ability to work, care for yourself or your family, or attend school, please speak with one of our attorneys to learn how we may help you.
