People suffering from PTSD have powerful, unsettling thoughts and sensations about their encounter that remain long following the traumatic occurrence has finished. They might experience the incident through memories or dreams; they could experience grief, dread, or fury; and they could appear disconnected or distanced from others. Persons suffering from PTSD often dread circumstances or individuals that trigger them of the traumatic experience, and they could have significant negative emotions to anything as innocuous as a loud noise or an unintentional contact.
