Thank you for visiting PTSDinfo.org to learn more about coping with traumatic stress.
PTSD is a medical diagnosis, established in 1980, defining symptoms that last at least a month after experiencing a major trauma. These symptoms include remembering or reliving the trauma when you do not choose to; feeling numb and withdrawn; and, having forms of anxiety that interfere with daily life.
Four national and international organizations are here to help, with articles, references, web-links, mini-courses, 800 phone access and e-mail pen-pal resources.
The National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD) is the Federal research and education agency within the Department of Veterans Affairs. This is the best place to find scientific information about PTSD. Learn More...
The Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma educates the media about PTSD, but also provides a short "cyber-course" on the subject that would help anyone learn more. Learn More...
Gift From Within exists to inform and support survivors of trauma and abuse. It includes an e-mail pen-pal service, an art gallery and many useful essays, articles and links to other resources. Learn More...
The National Center for Victims of Crime serves victims of any kind of crime, including those whose victimization results in PTSD. They have a Helpline, 1-800-FYI-CALL, and welcome your call. Learn More...
