Health care providers do not know why traumatic events can cause PTSD in some people but not others. Genes, emotions and family environment may also play a role. Emotional traumas of the past may increase the risk of this disorder after a recent traumatic event.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the change in the body’s response to stressful circumstances. Normally, after the event, the body recovers.

Depression
It is an emotional disorder that makes the victim feel sad and listless, experiencing an inner discomfort and hindering their interactions with the environment.
It manifests from a series of symptoms such as mood swings, lack of enthusiasm, irritability and a feeling of anguish that goes beyond what is considered normal.
According to the clinical definition of this disease, depression is a disorder in the state of mind where feelings of deep pain, frustration, anger and loneliness appear to prevent the person from continuing with their normal lives for a period of prolonged time.
Depression post-traumatic
When a person has experienced or witnessed an event in life, physical and/or psychological integrity have been seriously threatened. We say that he/she has suffered a traumatic experience or stressful situation such as: death of a family member, or a friend, accidents (which we can leave one disabled), diseases, chronic financial difficulties, etc. These situations can cause symptoms of depression, which when sustained long term, can trigger chronic depression.
The solution to keeping depression away
To overcome depression, it is necessary to follow a medical treatment and/or psychological therapy. But the fear of many people who battle to overcome depression lies within him/her. There are fears, because once you’ve experienced depression, you have the advantage to already know the enemy, so you’re much more prepared to not suffer again.
To fight depression, to keep it away from your life, the people around you are as important as the work on personal development you should do for yourself. Stay away from toxic people that fill you with negativity and those in particular; emotional vampires who do not believe in your dreams.
