After a critical incident, trauma-related responses vary greatly. While some individuals may experience strong reactions immediately, others may feel “normal” with symptoms developing later. Symptoms typically decline over time, often around the two-week mark, though some may recover sooner.

However, if symptoms persist or worsen, it’s crucial to seek help. Engaging with a behavioral health professional can offer the support needed to manage these responses and prevent long-term mental health challenges. Recognizing when professional help is needed is key to ensuring a healthier recovery.
