If you suffered a serious injury in a South Florida motorcycle crash, or if you witnessed the death of someone else, chances are you may be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). However, you might not even know you are suffering from PTSD because you may assume that being involved in a serious accident is bound to impact you emotionally.
While serious traffic accidents can impact people, there is a difference between being emotionally rattled and suffering from PTSD. In order to not miss being diagnosed properly and getting the correct psychological treatment, make sure you are looking out for the following PTSD signs and notify your doctor if you are experiencing any of these symptoms:
- Nightmares, insomnia and having trouble sleeping
- Flashbacks of the crash or visualizing the wreck over and over again
- Fear, worry, and anxiety associated with riding a motorcycle again
- Problems concentrating
- Issues relating to people
- Emotional numbness
- Depression
