June is National PTSD Awareness Month.

While many children may experience a stressful or traumatic event in their lifetimes, PTSD is only diagnosed when symptoms persist for more than one month and interfere with personal relationships or activities.

A child or teen may suffer from PTSD following a serious car accident, natural disaster, loss of a friend or family member, or physical, sexual, or emotional maltreatment.

Primary care physicians can make use of our evidence-based questionnaires and rating scales in their practice, which include PTSD: https://pulse.ly/hsz0bjj7gl
