PTSD or Post-traumatic stress disorder can occur in anyone in Minneapolis exposed to traumatic incidents. This can include being involved in a life-threatening situation or a perceived life-threatening event, or it may include witnessing such an event. These events can occur in the workplace, such as observing the death of a coworker in an accident, or it may be a part of the job as experienced by Minneapolis first responders.
