Post-traumatic stress disorder risk factors

Although there’s no way to know who will or won’t experience PTSD, several factors play a role: individual personality, severity of the event, proximity to the event or the people involved, duration of the trauma and the amount of support the person receives afterward. Remember that only a small percentage of people who live through a traumatic event actually develop PTSD. You may be at higher risk if you:

  • Were directly involved in the traumatic event.
  • Were injured or had a near-death experience.
  • Survived an especially long-lasting or severe traumatic event.
  • Truly believed your life or that of someone around you was in danger.
  • Had a strong emotional or physical reaction during the event.
  • Received little or no support following the event.
  • Have multiple other sources of stress in your life.

Recognizing the symptoms

Treating post-traumatic stress disorder begins with recognizing that you actually have it, as opposed to a “normal” stress reaction. Just as individual reactions to trauma vary, PTSD symptoms also differ somewhat from person to person. You may notice symptoms immediately after a traumatic situation, or they may appear weeks, months or even years later. Although the symptoms of a “normal” stress reaction can resemble those of PTSD, true PTSD symptoms continue for a prolonged period of time and often interfere with typical daily routines and commitments… check out our PTSD page for more info.

Building a Personal Support Network


One of the best ways to feel more in control of your life is to develop a strong network of friends, relatives, co-workers and others you can count on for support. Most people have at least the beginnings of a personal network, and you can expand your network by reaching out to others and developing new friendships.  There are many people and legitimate organizations willing and available to help.
