Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

A men­tal health con­di­tion trig­gered by expe­ri­enc­ing or wit­ness­ing a trau­mat­ic event, marked by intru­sive mem­o­ries, avoid­ance, and height­ened anx­i­ety.

Sleep research — includ­ing Stan­ford’s SleepFM study — has found that sig­nals record­ed dur­ing a sin­gle night’s sleep can be asso­ci­at­ed with future risk of this and relat­ed con­di­tions. This is gen­er­al infor­ma­tion, not a diag­no­sis. Learn about the research behind this entry →
