Meanwhile, the hospitalâs occupational medicine physician, Dr Muhamad Yazid Abd Manaf, recommended Qhaizul Izhar get post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment because of what he experienced.
âA person may suffer from severe trauma after the death of a family member; it can impact them emotionally and mentally.
