Can PTSD Cause Brain Fog? | July 17, 2024

Going through trauma is not rare. About 6 out of every 10 (or 60%) of men and 5 of every 10 (or 50%) of women experience at least one trauma in their lives.

Women are more likely to experience sexual assault and child sexual abuse. Men are more likely to experience accidents, physical assault, combat, disaster, or to witness death or injury.

The effects of trauma can linger.

If you sometimes lack mental clarity and feel fatigued, you may be experiencing PTSD-related brain fog.

Because of its broad effects on the nervous system, PTSD can cause some less well-known symptoms too, including dissociation, brain fog, and physical pain.
