Acute stress disorder
Acute Stress Disorder can occur soon after a highly stressful or traumatic event. Symptoms may include intrusive thoughts, difficulty concentrating, emotional numbness, and avoidance of reminders. Early support can ease symptoms and reduce the risk of developing PTSD.
Acute Stress Disorder is a short-term anxiety condition that arises within one month of a distressing or traumatic event. It may involve flashbacks, nightmares, mood shifts, and avoidance behaviors that interfere with daily functioning.
- Intrusive memories
Unwanted thoughts or mental images that replay the traumatic experience, often suddenly and without warning. - Distressing dreams
Recurring nightmares related to the event, often leading to disrupted or poor-quality sleep. - Flashbacks
Moments when it feels like the traumatic event is happening again, triggered by sounds, smells, or other reminders. - Avoidance behaviors
Actively steering clear of places, people, conversations, or thoughts that remind you of the trauma. - Negative mood changes
Persistent feelings of sadness, fear, guilt, or disconnection from others. - Heightened arousal
Feeling tense, easily startled, irritable, or having trouble sleeping or concentrating. - Dissociation
Feeling numb, detached from your surroundings, or as if you are outside your own body. - Changes in perception
Shifts in how you view yourself, others, or the world around you. You may feel less safe or more uncertain than usual.
