Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
The possible negative effects of a serious accident are many, and may go far beyond physical injuries and the costly treatments they often require. It is possible for a number of disorders related to the accident to manifest weeks or even months afterward. One common mental disorder that can occur after an accident is post-traumatic stress disorder.
Post-traumatic stress disorder is an anxiety disorder that is typically caused by severe trauma. It can vary greatly in severity, with serious cases potentially causing job loss, relationship problems, and even the inability to leave the home due to agoraphobia.
