	Encyclopedia: Post-traumatic stress disorder
		Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a term for the psychological consequences of exposure to, or confrontation with, stressful experiences which involve actual or threatened death, serious physical injury, or a threat to physical and/or psychological integrity, and which the person found highly traumatic.
		Post-traumatic stress is thus a chemical imbalance of neurotransmitters, according to stress theory.
		The response to stress in PTSD is abnormal with long-term high levels of norepinephrine, at the same time as cortisol levels are low, a pattern associated with facilitated learning in animals.

	Post-traumatic stress disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a term for the psychological consequences of exposure to, or confrontation with, stressful experiences which involve actual or threatened death, serious physical injury, or a threat to physical and/or psychological integrity, and which the person experienced 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.
		It is believed that of those exposed to traumatic conditions between 5% (life threatening disease such as cancer) and 80% (rape) will develop PTSD depending on the severity of the trauma and personal vulnerability.

	Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - American Rescue
		It is known that traumatic occurrences--sexual or physical abuse, loss of parents, the disaster of war--often have a profound impact on the lives of children.
		Post-traumatic stress disorder results, in part, from the difference between the individual's personal values or view of the world and the reality that he or she witnessed or lived during the traumatic event.
		Whether PTSD sufferers are treated by therapists who use cognitive/behavioral treatment or psychodynamic treatment, traumatized people need to identify the triggers for their memories of trauma, as well as identifying those situations in their lives in which they feel out of control and the conditions that need to exist for them to feel safe.

	Post- traumatic stress syndrome in kids (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The 18 month study concluded that almost all of the students (96 percent) had visible symptoms of acute post event stress, and that approximately half continued to experience post-traumatic stress symptoms throughout the whole 18-month study period (seven children -27 percent - were diagnosed as having full-blown post-traumatic stress disorders).
		40 percent of this group of students also had symptoms of post-traumatic stress four months after the event, and three were eventually diagnosed as having a full-blown post-traumatic stress disorder.
		"The fact that children indirectly involved in a traumatic event are at risk of developing a post-traumatic stress disorder pleads in favor of a broader application of therapeutic services to all 'involved' children," said Vila.

		The traumatic events most often associated with PTSD are: for men: rape, combat exposure, childhood neglect, and childhood physical abuse.
		Although there is a renewed interest in subjective aspects of traumatic exposure, it must be emphasized that exposure to events such as rape, torture, genocide, and severe war zone stress, are experienced as traumatic events by nearly everyone.
		For individuals with PTSD, the traumatic event remains, sometimes for decades or a lifetime, a dominating psychological experience that retains its power to evoke panic, terror, dread, grief, or despair as manifested in daytime fantasies, traumatic nightmares, and psychotic reenactments known as PTSD flashbacks.

		Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a pathological anxiety that usually occurs after an individual experiences or witnesses severe trauma that constitutes a threat to the physical integrity or life of the individual or of another person.

		Children of this age tend to be strongly affected by their parents' reactions to the traumatic event.
