Trauma can deeply impact mental health, leading to conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, or depression. It alters brain function, stress response, and emotional regulation. People may experience flashbacks, nightmares, or emotional numbness. Trauma can also affect relationships and self-esteem. Healing requires a compassionate, safe environment and professional support such as trauma-focused therapy. Mindfulness and grounding techniques help in managing triggers. With time and therapy, individuals can rebuild trust, regain confidence, and find emotional balance. Recovery is always possible with the right guidance and patience.
