The TriWest Behavioral Health
Portal offers a variety of valuable information
about behavioral health issues, including Posttraumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is an anxiety
disorder that can occur when an individual has
experienced a terrifying ordeal or event such
as military combat, a natural disaster, terrorist
incident, serious accident, or a violent personal
assault. People who suffer from PTSD often relive
the experience through nightmares and flashbacks.
Some individuals may detach to avoid reminders
of the traumatic event, and end up feeling disconnected
or estranged from family and friends. The TriWest
website offers general information on identifying
the symptoms of PTSD.
