Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): A mental health disorder that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It involves symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, and avoidance behaviors.
Fight-or-flight response: The body's natural physiological reaction triggered during a perceived threat or danger. It prepares us either to confront the threat (fight) or escape from it (flight).
Resilience: The ability to bounce back and recover from adversity or trauma. It involves adapting well in the face of challenges and maintaining positive mental health despite difficult circumstances.
