Psychological "trauma" is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as an experience beyond "the range of usual human experience," that "would be markedly distressing to almost anyone, and is usually experienced with intense fear, terror and helplessness".
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric diagnosis common among people who have survived horrific events, the defining diagnostic features are memory distortions. PTSD can be varied in duration and intensity, with an "acute" diagnosis if symptom length was less than three months, a "chronic" diagnosis if more than three months, and "delayed onset," if six months have passed between the actual traumatic event and the onset of symptoms. |
