A member asked:
What are symptoms of ptsd? my son had a very close call with his open heart surgery and almost died. one year later i still have horrible flashbacks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be PTSD: These flashbacks could be part of PTSD. More important than naming the exact diagnosis would be getting treatment. There are various forms of psychotherapy ,sometimes with medication, that can be very helpful. Treatment works.
