- This disorder is identified by failure to move past or recover after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event. It is a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, war, rape or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence or serious injury.
- The condition may last months or years in some cases, with triggers that can bring back vivid memories of the trauma accompanied by intense emotional and physical reactions.
- Symptoms may include nightmares or flashbacks, avoidance of situations that bring back the trauma, heightened reactivity to stimuli, anxiety or depressed mood.
