Patients with PTSD often experience sleep problems such as insomnia, flashbacks, anxiety, depressive nightmares, and sleep apnea.
Today, more and more studies are showing that the treatment of this problem is an effective way to treat this disorder comprehensively.
As many as 75 per cent of Australian adults have experienced trauma in their lives, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
But it is estimated that only 5-10 per cent will experience post-traumatic stress.
The condition is usually experienced at higher levels by veterans with the ongoing Royal Commission into Veteran Suicide and Defence, which is hearing more about the impact of the disorder.
