Assessing and intervening with PTSD

Preface 1 PTSD necessarily involves exposure to a traumatic stressor. 2 A traumatic stressor can generate initial stress reactions in just about anyone. 3 However, not everyone exposed to these events develops PTSD. 4 Among those who develop PTSD, significant impairments in daily functioning (including interpersonal and academic functioning) are observed. 5 Developmentally younger individuals are more vulnerable to PTSD.
