# What is Trauma?

Trauma disorders are specific mental health conditions that arise from traumatic experiences, although not all traumas result in such situations. It's important to recognise that the perception of trauma is subjective, as it depends on personal backgrounds and experiences. However, certain traumas, such as violence, neglect, abuse, loss of a loved one, witnessing abuse or violence, torture, accidents, and natural disasters, are directly linked to the development of mental health conditions. Traumatic experiences can affect individuals of all ages, and the severity of their impact varies.

When Should You Reach Out for Help?

Trauma can leave a lasting impact physically and mentally. There are multiple reasons but most common traumatic situations include are when one has been in an accident, has faced violence or abuse, loses a loved one suddenly, witnesses disturbing events or natural disasters. Having said that, trauma is not the same for each person, one person’s traumatic events may not be traumatic for another person. However, trauma can be dealt with by opting for psychotherapy, being part of support groups, or other techniques.
