PTSD is not often what young adults and teens think of when
you say the words 'mental illness.' More often they'll jump to Depression and
Anxiety. I know, personally, I always associated PTSD with survivors of war and
never realised that a young woman in Australia could experience it. That was
until I felt the steering wheel go through my chest every day even after my
fractured sternum had healed.
While mental illness never discriminates, it is always
personalised; no person experiences any...
