While most people who have experienced a traumatic event will not suffer from PTSD, its prevalence is as high as 60% amongst combat veterans. The individual re-experiences the event(s) through intrusive recollections, nightmares, flashbacks, or intense distress when exposed to reminders of the event(s). The patient may have feelings of detachment, amnesia, emotional numbing, restricted affect or active avoidance of thoughts that may be reminders of the trauma. Symptoms were first diagnosed during the American Civil War, and were initially given the name "Shell Shock" during World War I.
