"Fine. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD is a disorder that develops in some people who have experienced a shocking, frightening or dangerous event.
It is normal for humans to experience stress during a traumatic situation. In dangerous situations, most people will undergo a number of reactions in the body as part of the "fight-or-flight" response. These are designed to help a person avoid danger. It often takes some time to recover from such a situation, but most people will recover from the initial symptoms naturally. Those who continue to experience problems may be diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Symptoms usually begin early, within 3 months of the traumatic incident, but can also begin years afterward. Symptoms must last more than a month and be severe enough to interfere with relationships or work to be considered PTSD. Some people recover within 6 months, while others have symptoms that last much longer. In some people, the condition becomes chronic.
For diagnosis, a person must experience at least one re-experiencing symptom, at least one avoidance symptom, at least two reactivity symptoms and least two cognition and mood symptoms for a period of at least one month."
