Reply While the loud noises caused by fireworks can trigger traumatic memories, it’s usually the unpredictability of the explosions that triggers a reaction in those with PTSD. (Renee Schiavone/Patch) PACIFIC PALISADES, CA While families may be looking forward to 4th of July barbecues, gatherings and fireworks, Independence Day can also be a time of stress and discomfort for some Pacific Palisades veterans. Fireworks are usually the primary cause of this stress, especially for veterans who suffer from PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder. PTSD affects about 7 to 8 percent of the general U.S. population, a number that reflects only a small portion of those who have gone through a traumatic experience, according to University of Michigan Health. For combat veterans and first responders, that number grows to 30 percent.
