Posttraumatic stress disorder.
Abstract
Posttraumatic stress disorder is an affective disorder resulting from external stress that is beyond what is usual and tolerable for most people. Symptomatology includes particularly intrusive thoughts or dreams and a conscious avoidance of feelings, ideas, or situations related to stressful event. Some psychological reactions seen in the intensive care units can meet the diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress.
