Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be a challenging mental health issue to manage, especially considering it's unique to each and every individual.

Laura, Thank you for posting this article. For me, it is very timely and helps explain some of what I've been experiencing lately. Thank you for the insight. Karen

Karen, You're welcome. I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing an anniversary reaction, but glad if this article helps explain it for you.
