* -post traumatic stress disorder. "PTSD symptoms can follow any serious psychological trauma, such as exposure to combat, accidents, torture, disasters, criminal assault and exposure to atrocities or to the sequelae of such extraordinary events. Prisoners of war exposed to harsh treatment are particularly prone to develop PTSD. In their acute presentation these symptoms,include subsets of a large variety of affective, cognitive, perceptional, emotional and behavioral responses to gross psychological trauma." (wikipedia)
