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.

If you or someone you know feels trapped in chronic bitterness or anger following a life-shattering event, Silent Epidemic will help you understand the underlying causes and find hope for healing.

PTED is more common than you might think, often resulting from unresolved injustices or traumatic experiences that leave a lasting impact. In this insightful book, Christine Pratt breaks down what PTED is, why it develops, and how it affects mental and emotional health. This is an essential read for anyone ready to recognise, understand, and confront the silent struggle of bitterness and transform it into lasting peace and resilience. Don’t wait—discover the path to understanding PTED with Silent Epidemic. Available now on Amazon.

Recognising it and acknowledging it is just the beginning.
