What is
Acute stress disorder
?

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.

What is TMS?
Symptoms
  • 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.
