Utah continues to see a steady rate of traffic crashes across cities like Ogden, with over 61,000 incidents reported statewide last year. Washington Boulevard is a major arterial route through Ogden and is frequently the site of traffic incidents due to congestion and turning traffic.
Many victims of crashes face more than just physical injury. One overlooked area is the psychological toll of being in an accident. Here are some common mental health effects:
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Some crash survivors experience nightmares, flashbacks, or anxiety about driving or being a passenger. PTSD can interfere with sleep and concentration.
- Driving Phobia: Even without full-blown PTSD, some individuals develop a fear of driving or being on busy roads, limiting their independence and mobility.
- Depression: Physical injuries, job loss, or financial strain from a crash can trigger or worsen depression in some people.
- Survivor’s Guilt: If others were severely injured or killed in the wreck, survivors may struggle with guilt or overwhelming emotional distress.
