PTSD facts. 1  Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an emotional illness that was first formally diagnosed in soldiers and war veterans and is usually caused by terribly frightening, life-threatening, or otherwise highly unsafe experiences but can also be caused by devastating life events like unemployment or divorce.
The negative effects of stress. When you perceive a crisisâ-or think a stressful thoughtâ-your brain secretes corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH). This master stress hormone triggers the release of glucocorticoid stress hormones, such as cortisol. Stimulated by glucocorticoids and other stress hormones (like adrenaline), the brain and body shift into crisis mode. Your breathing and pulse quicken, making more oxygen available to your muscles.
