Emotional Trauma from a Motorcycle Accident

Living life in the fast lane doesn't always mean you can get away from your troubles, especially if you're involved in a motorcycle accident.

Accidents Can Be Emotionally Traumatic

Motorcycle accidents are not only physically dangerous, but also have traumatic emotional consequences. While physical injuries such as road rash and broken bones can slowly heal, emotional injuries continue to hurt beneath the surface.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. PTSD usually develops within 90 days of the trauma. Common symptoms of PTSD include:

Anxiety
Behavior Changes
Confusion
Depression

Difficulty Speaking
Disorientation
Dizziness
Hearing Loss

Impaired Vision
Loss of Coordination
Memory Loss
Paralysis
