Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Avoidance and social detachment are key symptoms of PTSD, and are commonly associated with psychic numbing. Social phobia involves a fear of social situations, while flashback involves re-experiencing traumatic events. Guilt may be a symptom of PTSD, but it is not specifically associated with avoidance and social detachment.
