Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) is a mental health condition that develops after experiencing a traumatic event. Its symptoms often appear within a month of the event and may include intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and avoidance of triggers associated with the trauma.
Individuals with ASD may feel detached from reality, experience difficulty
concentrating, and exhibit hypervigilance. The disorder can significantly
disrupt daily life and functioning.
ASD
is usually a response to a traumatic event such as accidents, natural
disasters, violence, or sudden loss. While ASD symptoms often fade away within
a few weeks, some individuals may go on to develop Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD) if the symptoms persist for an extended period.
Early intervention, such as therapy and support, can help
manage symptoms and prevent the development of long-term mental health issues
like PTSD. Seeking professional help is crucial for individuals experiencing
acute stress following a traumatic event.
