State
Posttraumatic stress disorder can follow exposure to a traumatic event and involves intrusion symptoms, avoidance, negative mood changes, and heightened arousal.
Show
A survivor re-experiences the event involuntarily, avoids reminders, and remains startle-prone months afterward.
Watch for
Most people exposed to trauma do not develop the disorder. Exposure is a criterion, not a prediction.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
