In this course I learned that a large amount of the population including men women and children have developed PTSD in response to trauma they endured at one point in their life. Some indications can include but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, irritability and even physical symptoms. Trauma is defines as a deeply depressing or disturbing experience that can be personal or observed. Our job is to help them overcome the challenges that PTSD presents so they can be successful in the classroom and in their future careers.
