Post-traumatic stress disorder can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, serious accident, terrorist incident, sudden death of a loved one, war, physical assault, emotional or verbal abuse or other life-threatening events. Individuals with PTSD continue to be severely depressed and anxious for months or even years following the event. PTSD is diagnosed after a person experiences symptoms for at least one month following a traumatic event. However symptoms may not appear until several months or even years later.

A personality disorder is when personality interferes with one’s participation in daily activities causes distress, and differs from cultural expectations, and remains this way over time.
