Post traumatic stress disorder(PTSD), an anxiety disorder, usually occurs because of a frightening or life-threatening experience. PTSD sufferers keep re-experiencing the event in their heads and so try to avoid places, people or things that remind them of the event and are very sensitive to normal experiences.
