Some of the more prevalent signs might be the sudden onset of a feeling like the traumatic event is happening again. There might be nightmares and memories of the event. There is a feeling of jitters when something happens suddenly and the sufferer gets upset easily over things happening without warning. Other warning signs might be the inability to become emotionally close to others, or finding it difficult to place trust in others. There could be a guilt that the sufferer lived while others didn t, and anger is easily aroused.
Insomnia is often a problem.
Normal Stress Response is the first. This type occurs with one traumatic event while the victim was an adult. There are bad memories, numbness of emotions, and much tension. Many times, recovery occurs within a few weeks. Some form of therapy is often helpful.
