Can Divorce Cause PTSD?
Marital crisis often results in traumatic events following the divorce process. Men and women come through divorces with various efficiency and usually divorce processes summon non-adaptive responses from a person. Previously, psychologists referred to divorce PTSD, but today the term post-divorce trauma is more typical to describe the lack of adaptivity in people who passed a complex divorce process. Some people may experience PTSD symptoms after their marital crisis but it is not a rule. In any case, if you feel recurrent bad thoughts, depressive episodes, negative cognition, and increased anxiety following your post-divorce routines, it is better to apply for professional help.
