Post Traumatic Embitterment Disorder

Learn More About PTED
Post Traumatic Embitterment Disorder (PTED) is a severe emotional condition often triggered by negative life events such as social rejection, job loss, or personal trauma. Those suffering from PTED experience profound feelings of injustice, anger, and bitterness that can severely impact their quality of life.

Most of us heard of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).  However, very few of us have heard the term Post-Traumatic Embitterment Disorder (PTED), even though it is a condition recognised in the US and Europe and, importantly, the symptoms of PTED are known to everyone across the UK.

PTED is best described as a reaction to negative life-events. Whilst it is often attributed to an injustice or to social rejection, it may also be attributed to a traumatic life-changing experience, such as assault, rape or loss of a job, which results in chronic feelings of bitterness and anger.

Recognising it and acknowledging it is just the beginning.
