Topic 8.5
Why could Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) be seen as more than just an anxiety disorder?
PTSD only affects individuals directly experiencing traumatic events, unlike typical anxiety disorders.
PTSD involves symptoms beyond anxiety such as intrusive memories and avoidance behaviors.
PTSD is solely based on past traumatic experiences rather than current anxieties.
All people with anxiety eventually develop PTSD if not treated promptly.
