Kate Beckinsale is speaking openly about how PTSD can affect people even when their struggles are not visible to others.
The actress shared a pair of Instagram videos on September 2 in which she discussed the toll trauma can take on sleep, daily life and relationships. Her comments came after she had also been reflecting publicly on grief following the death of her mother, Judy Loe.
Beckinsale focused much of her message on people who continue working, caring for family and socializing while dealing with intense symptoms privately.
"They get up, they go to work, they look after their kids, they provide for their family, they have a laugh, they're the fun person, but they don't sleep for more than an hour because when they do, it's full of nightmares," she said.
Beckinsale said everyday triggers can suddenly overwhelm someone.
