Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is caused when someone feels that they will not survive a situation such as drowning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are the Symptoms of PTSD?<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Intense Fear of Water<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

If you or someone you love has developed PTSD because of a near-drowning incident, they may also develop an intense fear of water.

For instance, talking to friends and family about their fear may feel intimidating and shameful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vivid Memories of the Incident<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/a>, many young children will often re-enact their traumatic events and experience frightening dreams after their incident. Adults will also experience nightmares and related dreams. They are also more likely to relive their near-drowning through flashbacks and intrusive thoughts. Sometimes memories may occur despite their best effort.<\/span><\/p>\n
