Abstract
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder in children is a complex interaction of cognitive, affective, and physiological responses to an event that is outside the range of usual human experience and would be markedly distressing to almost anyone. Traumatic stress reactions in children are conscious and unconscious efforts to assimilate an overwhelming event and have been identified in the past as panic reaction, acute grief hysterical reaction, and physical shock. PTSD in children is complicated by multiple issues of developmental stages, family dynamics, physical maturity, genetic predisposition, and cognitive skills.
