Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Journal 5 Karan Kapoor

PTSD is a disorder that occurs when people go through shocking, or dangerous events. This occurs when the person feels afraid during the event or after the event has happened. The way people get Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are during a war, natural disaster, car accident, and sexual assault. In this case Mr. Beah got it in the war. Anyone can get PTSD it depends on how the person reacts after their tragic moment. My grandfather says he doesn't have PTSD, but I believe he does because he always brings up the moment when India was divided between Pakistan. He was only 14 years old when it happened, but he still has memories of those very moments.
