Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ( P.T.S.D), is a Psychological disorder that effects millions of people all around the world. Kids, Adolescence, and adults can develope this disorder. P.t.s.d is formed by a prolonged stress or trauma that has occured in somebodys life, such as Abuse. First, a child that grew up in an abusive home for several years will become very scared, nervous, and anxious when they are older. This child would become confused and most of the time feel like they are walking on eggshells around the abuser. Or around anybody for that fact. Second, an adult may have been in a different situation. Such as, coming home from a war. They have seen things and felt the scared and nervous feelings of a very hard situation for several years. People with P.T.S.D will experience flashbacks of the time they were in there stressed filled, tramatic times. They might hear, smell or see something that will remind them of that time. Another way of flashbacks are nightmares of the same situations....Over and over again. Sometimes people may sob or cry in there nightmare and they would wake themselves up, not knowing for two to three seconds where they are and still sobbing. Finally, they realize that they are safe and still have the feeling of nervousness. P.T.S.D is a very horrifying disorder and most people that do not know about this psychological mishap can start to understand how this works. I know most of these psychological disorders from experience.
