PTSD: PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder can result from any traumatic incident. Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/basics/definition/CON-20022540 for more info. Talk w/your family doc. Get a referral if necessary for counseling. You may need some medication but be sure to ask about difference btwn benzodiazepine (addictive) & SSRI (non-addictive).
