Wounded Warrior Project's video: PTSD Explained: Two Symptoms: Hypervigilance and Avoidance Ep 13

In this 14 episode series about PTSD, Rush University Clinical Director, Michael Brennan, PsyD, ABPP, breaks down what PTSD is, it's symptoms, and available treatment options. In episode 13, Michael explains two clustered symptoms of PTSD, hypervigilance and avoidance. Hypervigilance makes someone living with PTSD on edge, super jumpy, and may lead to angry outbursts. When someone experiences these symptoms, one of two things happen, they change the way they think and feel, or begin to isolate themselves. This is then the start of avoidance.
