hey mate here's ur ans ^_^
A person with PTSD has four main types of difficulties: Re-living the traumatic event through unwanted and recurring memories, flashbacks or vivid nightmares. There may be intense emotional or physical reactions when reminded of the event including sweating, heart palpitations or panic.
New name for PTSD could mean less stigma. It has been called shell shock, battle fatigue, soldier's heart and, most recently, post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Now, military officers and psychiatrists are embroiled in a heated debate over whether to change the name of a condition as old as combat.
PTSD develops in some people after they experience or witness an event that threatens their life or safety, or that of others around them.
Symptoms include vivid memories, feeling constantly on edge and avoiding reminders of the event.
It is common for people to have some of the symptoms of PTSD in the first few days after the traumatic event. Most will recover by themselves or with the support of family and friends. Others may need professional help.
