Abstract

Post-traumatic stress disorder appears as a delayed or prolonged response to a stressful event or situation, extremely threatening or catastrophic in nature, which can cause pervasive anxiety in almost any person. For example, natural disasters, fights, serious accidents, witnessing the violent death of other persons, victims of torture, terrorism, rape and other crimes. A traumatic experience is an experience out of the ordinary, that is, the experience of endangering one's own or someone else's life, accompanied by helplessness and horror. Posttraumatic stress disorder is only one of the syndromes that can be a consequence of psychological traumatization.
