Title: Can You Have a Healthy Relationship if You Have PTSD?
Post by: Ciri on January 03, 2022, 09:42:18 AM

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD in a short, is a mental condition that occurs in individuals when they experience one of the following incidents:

Life threatening events (accidents, physical assaults, sexual assault)
Long term abuse (childhood abuse, domestic abuse, sexual abuse)
Serious health problems (diagnosed with cancer, for example)

If you are going through incidents like these, can you actually have healthy relationship, can your marriage survive?

Research show that about 50 percent people diagnosed with PTSD will end their marriage in divorce. They are 3 times more likely to remarry and end in divorce.

Yes, it is possible to have a healthy relationship if you have PTSD. However, it may require open communication, understanding, and support from both partners to navigate the challenges that can arise due to PTSD symptoms. Seeking therapy and professional help can also be beneficial.
