Post-raumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a highly disturbing and traumatic psychological condition that can affect sufferers for months and even years after their original ordeal.
Sufferers can feel isolated and out of control, with harrowing nightmares and flashbacks tormenting them as they struggle to get of the memories that haunt them. In extreme cases it can also be life-threatening as many find they cannot cope and turn to drugs and alcohol in an attempt to escape.
But if you are suffering from PTSD, did you know that you could be eligible to make a substantial compensation claim? Read on to find out more...
Post traumatic stress disorder can occur both in the immediate aftermath of a frightening event such as a car accident or physical, but it can also have a delayed onset, which causes some people to misdiagnose themselves with other stress-related conditions.
Listed below are a number of symptoms that may indicate you are suffering from PTSD:
Although a number of the abovementioned symptoms are also associated with a number of other conditions, if they continue to persist for more than three months after the incident then you could be suffering from PTSD.
If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms and think it may be as a result of a traumatic incident that wasn't your fault, then you may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim.
It is essential you document everything to do with your condition. Try to keep a medical diary of the feelings and problems you are experiencing. It is also essential you seek an independent medical certificate, confirming that you are suffering from PTSD. Also, make sure you keep all receipts of any expenses you incur as a result of your condition. You will be able to claim of this back should your claim be successful.
