Important question! by the_true_challenger

Do any of have any tips to accurately write a character that has post-traumatic stress disorder? In Beyond the Stars, one of the protagonists (as they switch between chapters) should canonically have PTSD, and you know me, I don't want to offend anyone that actually has it. So, this is why I'm asking.
If that's okay.
Of course. :D

my dad has pstd and mdd(major depressive disorder)
he generally dislikes going to crowded places like walmart and will get mad if we take to long in the store so he'll go at times when less people are there he can still go to crowded places but he heavily dislikes it my dad worries a lot over things that dont seem that big to others sometimes with simple questions he'll be mad for a while there's ups and downs my dad also uses weed to help calm his brain down he's not always super on edge

sometimes hes describes the worry of feeling like he's gonna be bombed (army/deployment related ptsd) so he dislikes staying in one place for to long like a super long red light or being in a store to long hope this helps lmk if u have any questions
