Paul Thompson Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder which may develop following exposure to any one of a variety of traumatic events that involve actual or threatened death, or serious injury.

The event may be witnessed rather than directly experienced, and even learning about it may be sufficient if the persons involved are family members or close friends. Sufferers may experience flashbacks, panic attacks and heightened awareness. PTSD is sometimes found in ex-military personnel who have been involved in conflict situations.

If you can answer YES to most of the questions it is likely that you are affected by PTSD.

Have you ever experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, for example, rape, shooting, car accident etc.?
Do you frequently get upset whilst thinking about a traumatic event?
Do you experience “flashbacks” in which you feel as if you are re-living a traumatic event?
Do you feel emotionally numb or on edge due to experiencing a traumatic event?
Are you aware of avoiding doing things that remind you of a traumatic event?
Anxiety UK strongly advises that people seek further information and guidance from their GP who will be able to make a formal diagnosis.

 "My top tip is to drink seven glasses of water per day" What is the Perfect Diet Drink?

The perfect diet drink is water and Yum Drops®; 0 carbs, 0 calories 0 Fat.

What is "The Perfect Thirst Quencher"?

Water has been proven to be the only real thirst quencher.  Trouble with some pre-bottled beverages is they are loaded with sugar and after a while, you can't drink it, it's just too sweet.

Any recent studies to validate these two claims?
