Understanding PTSD: Can a Relationship Cause It?

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be caused by traumatic events, including abusive or unhealthy relationships. The symptoms of PTSD can affect trust, communication, and problem-solving in relationships. Trauma survivors with PTSD may feel distant, numb, and have less interest in social or sexual activities. They may have trouble sleeping, experience intense anger, and avoid closeness. Loved ones of individuals with PTSD may feel hurt, cut off, or pressured. Certain types of traumas can have a more severe effect on relationships, such as childhood sexual and physical abuse, domestic violence, combat, terrorism, genocide, torture, kidnapping, and being a prisoner of war.
