Trauma and Stress Related Disorders can occur after an individual has been exposed to stressful and/or traumatic events. Specific disorders include Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Acute Stress Disorder (ASD). ASD typically occurs in the first month following the trauma, whereas PTSD can only be diagnosed when symptoms have lasted for over a month. Common symptoms for trauma and stress include re-experiencing the trauma through flashbacks and nightmares, avoidance of places and events that remind them of the trauma, and increased arousal characterized by feeling jumpy, irritated, and lack of concentration.
