(Smith, Robinson and Segal) The severe symptoms that go away after a short period is called Acute Stress Disorder. (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) There are three categories of symptoms for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. They are re-experiencing the event, avoiding reminders of the trauma and the increased anxiety and emotional arousal. (Smith, Robinson and Segal) Re-experiencing the event is essentially when a person has flashbacks, nightmares, any feelings or physical reactions that repeats memories of themselves from the traumatic event. When a person is escaping any reminders of the trauma, they try to dodge anything that makes them recaps anything about the trauma. Once a person has sleeping troubles, angry for no apparent reason and has issues concentrating, they are experiencing the increased anxiety and emotional arousal symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder. Other symptoms that are associated with PTSD is when a person feels guilty, depressed, has the feeling of mistrust and betrayal and hopelessness. (Smith, Robinson and Segal) Any of the symptoms that has the duration of more than a month and is severe enough that it interferes with someone’s daily life, it is then considered as post-traumatic stress disorder. (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Only a psychiatrist or a psychologist can diagnose someone with PTSD after having a series of test administered to determine it. (PTSD: National Center for PTSD "How Common Is PTSD?") To be diagnose with PTSD, the person must have all the symptoms for at least one month. They must be at least 1 re-experiencing, avoidance symptom; 2 arousal and reactivity, cognition and mood symptoms; flashbacks with physical symptoms that will affect their everyday life and bad dreams or frightening thoughts.
