PTSD is caused by experiencing a severely traumatizing event, such as the death of a loved one, a serious accident, natural disaster or sexual or physical abuse. It is also very common with soldiers and other people exposed to war.
Post traumatic stress disorder is under the same impairment listing as anxiety disorders, so it shares some of the same symptoms such as compulsive or obsessive thoughts and behaviors, rapid heart/breathing rate and trouble concentrating. PTSD also causes panic attacks, flashbacks to the traumatizing event, fear of event recurrence, avoidant behavior and restlessness.
These symptoms can result in social isolation, depression and unpredictable behavior. People with PTSD may be unable to interact socially, especially in stressful situations. This may mean that they are unable to hold a job or complete day-to-day tasks such as grocery shopping.
If you or a loved one is experiencing severe symptoms of PTSD, you may be able to obtain SSD/SSI benefits. Please call 502-442-7306 to schedule an appointment with a Louisville post traumatic stress disorder attorney.
