PTSD Signs & Symptoms

Deny Happened Events

In some cases, people with PTSD might react to the traumatic event by denying that it ever happened. They would act totally normally just as their life hasn’t been affected in any way. It is known as a form of self-preservation and shock. Your mind will shut down your understanding and memory of what has occurred to keep your body from pain. For instance, a mom might deny the death of her daughter and keep talking about her instead of accepting the truth. [4]
