Significant distress and functional impairment are hallmark features of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Individuals with PTSD commonly experience a range of symptoms that lead to emotional and psychological distress, such as intrusive memories, nightmares, hyperarousal, and avoidance behaviors. This distress can severely impact day-to-day functioning, affecting personal relationships, work performance, and overall quality of life. The emotional burden can be overwhelming, often resulting in anxiety, depression, or difficulty regulating emotions, which further contributes to functional impairment.

While elevated sensory awareness may occur in some individuals due to hypervigilance, it does not primarily characterize PTSD. Improved manual dexterity and increased social interactions can be seen in various therapeutic contexts but are not typical outcomes or symptoms associated with PTSD. Understanding the significant distress and functional impairment associated with PTSD is crucial for recognizing the need for appropriate interventions and support for those affected.
