Trauma & Stressor Related Disorders

Trauma and stressors are associated with events that are very harmful or at the very least; fear inducing. Trauma is the shaken state your mind experiences as a consequence. 

Humans and normal social life have in-built resilience to handle difficulty. However, challenging events can overwhelm us sometimes, especially if the usual means of resilience and protection from recurrences, etc are lacking in some way or other.
