Trauma refers to a physical injury or psychological distress caused by an external event. It can be categorized into two main types:

1. Physical Trauma: This involves injuries to the body resulting from accidents, falls, violence, or natural disasters. Common examples include fractures, head injuries, and soft tissue injuries. Treatment often involves emergency care, surgery, and rehabilitation.

2. Psychological Trauma: This involves emotional or psychological responses to distressing events, such as abuse, assault, or severe accidents. It can lead to conditions like PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), anxiety, and depression. Treatment may include therapy, medication, and support groups.

Both types of trauma can have lasting effects, and timely intervention is crucial for recovery. If you’re interested in a specific aspect of trauma, let me know!
