PTSD is thought to affect around one-third of people who experience a traumatic event.
People who have experienced traumas find it harder to suppress emotional memories, new research reveals.
The reason could be neural disruption in areas of the brain linked to suppressing memories.
The study helps to explain why people exposed to car accidents, medical issues or other traumas continue to relive emotional memories.
People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) find memories of a traumatic event continue to intrude and incapacitate them.
This happens even when they try to suppress the memory
