[Abstract] Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder sequelae of changes in their mental state after encountering or fighting major stress. Early explored by military psychiatrists and psychoanalysts, PTSD was a public health issue that attracted widespread social concern. In recent years, a series of public health emergencies around the world, such as the popular SARS in 2013 and novel coronavirus (COVID-19) began in the end of 2019, the outbreak of these events led to a series of psychological problems in some patients and medical workers, and even PTSD, makes PTSD a disease research hotspot, understand brain function changes in PTSD patients to prevent people's mental illness and actively treat patients are of great help. So this paper provides a review of the recent research progress on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on changes in brain function in PTSD patients to enhance public mental health recovery in response to the persistence of a series of public health emergencies.
