Answer 1

Answer:

Acute stress disorder

Explanation:

Acute stress disorder or ASD is a condition that may appear after a traumatic event. Generally, ASD is said to be a temporary condition (meaning that it may last from 3 to 30 days after the traumatic event took place). If it is not cured, then doctors may consider the condition to be PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). A person who suffers from ASD usually experiences the following symptoms: the person goes back to that event over and over again through memories, flashbacks; the person is usually sad or in a low mood; the person experiences lack of awareness, inability to remember some important parts of the traumatic event; the person may also experience insomnia, anxiety and depression.
