Condition that may be treated with SSRIs

PTSD

This trauma-related disorder can develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event, often causing flashbacks or severe anxiety.

SSRIs, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, are a common type of antidepressant used to treat mood disorders like depression and anxiety. The clue hints at PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), which is one of the conditions often managed with SSRIs to help regulate mood and reduce symptoms like flashbacks or severe anxiety. The answer plays on the medical connection without any wordplay—it’s a straightforward reference to how PTSD is clinically addressed.
