by definition, PTSD always follows a traumatic event which causes intense fear and/or helplessness in an individual.  typically the symptoms develop shortly after the event, but may take years.  the duration for symptoms is at least one month for this diagnosis. the traumatic event may involve the threat of death to oneself or to someone else, or to one’s own or someone else’s physical, sexual, or psychological integrity, overwhelming the individual’s ability to cope. as an effect of psychological trauma, PTSD is less frequent and more enduring than the more commonly seen acute stress disorder.
