It is normal to feel anxious, terrified, and agitated after being involved in a potentially dangerous or traumatic incident. Most emotions disappear after a few weeks have passed. Some people continue to have these emotions for many months or even years following the traumatic event. This article looks at how post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) might manifest differently in men and women. It was discussed how PTSD develops, what causes it, how it affects women, and what treatments are available. PTSD is far more common in women than in males. PTSD can result in feelings of guilt and worry, as well as shame, hopelessness, depression, and frustration. When someone suffering from PTSD is treated with empathy, compassion, understanding, and acceptance, she feels safe and secure, which has been linked to the development and improvement of PTSD symptoms. With the aid of loved ones, it is possible to overcome feelings of helplessness, grief, and hopelessness. Patients suffering from PTSD may benefit from the encouragement and support of their friends and family. With the help of their loved ones, women may enhance their health and well-being.

"Earlier research has established that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder (SUD) frequently coexist. Aims: Cognitive Processing Therapy was compared to Sertraline and a placebo in an RCT for treating patients with comorbid SUD and PTSD. Methods: 150 patients with SUD and PTSD were interviewed by clinicians and asked to fill out the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS-5), Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-5), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), Timeline Follow Back Interview (TLFB), and Brief Addiction Monitor (BAM). Patients were randomly assigned to the following conditions: CPT (n=50), Sertraline (n=50), or Placebo (n=50). Pretreatment, posttreatment, six and, twelve-month follow-up assessments were conducted. Results: When compared to the sertraline group, CPT resulted in much higher reductions in CAPS scores at posttreatment assessment (d=0.93, p < .000). When compared to the control group, CPT considerably reduced PTSD symptoms (the effect size, d=1.9, p < .000). Sertraline resulted in many significant decreases in CAPS when compared to control groups (the effect size , d=1.11, p<.000). At posttreatment, SUD and depression severity were significantly reduced in both CPT and Sertraline groups. After six and twelve months of follow-up, these differences persisted. Conclusion: Comparatively to the control group, CPT and Sertraline significantly decreased PTSD, SUD, and depression."
