	Post-traumatic stress disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a term for certain psychological consequences of exposure to, or confrontation with, stressful experiences that the person experiences as highly traumatic.
		PTSD is thought to be primarily an anxiety disorder, and should not be confused with normal grief and adjustment after traumatic events.
		PTSD may have a "delayed onset" of years, or even decades, and may even be triggered by a specific body movement if the trauma was stored in the procedural memory, by another stressful event, such as the death of a family member or someone else close, or by the diagnosis of a life-threatening medical condition.
