Posttraumatic stress disorder [note 1] ( PTSD ) is a severe anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to any event that results in psychological trauma . [1] [2] [3] This event may involve the threat of death to oneself or to someone else, or to one's own or someone else's physical, sexual, or psychological integrity, [1] overwhelming the individual's ability to cope . As an effect of psychological trauma , PTSD is less frequent and more enduring than the more commonly seen post traumatic stress (also known as acute stress response ). [4] Diagnostic symptoms for PTSD include re-experiencing the original trauma(s) through flashbacks or nightmares , avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma, and increased arousal —such as difficulty falling or staying asleep, anger , and hypervigilance . Formal diagnostic criteria (both DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10 ) require that the symptoms last more than one month and cause significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

[1] It is a severe and ongoing emotional reaction to an extreme psychological trauma . [2] This stressor may involve someone's actual death or a threat to the patient's or someone else's life, serious physical injury, or threat to physical and/or psychological integrity, to a degree that usual psychological defenses are incapable of coping . It is important to make a distinction between PTSD and Traumatic stress , which is a similar condition, but of less intensity and duration. [3] The condition has also been known historically or colloquially as shell shock , traumatic war neurosis , or post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSS). |
