A member asked:
Can you tell me if someone expirienced a traumatic event at age 19 and developed ptsd will they be able to mentally mature pas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mentally mature past: That age? Having ptsd does not mean that one will stop maturing emotionally - however it can create many problems interpersonally. It can cause severe problems with sleep, anxiety, avoidance ; hyperarousal that may have a dramatic negative impact.
