Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Initial stress reactions to an overwhelming and traumatic stimulus are considered normal for most individuals. These reactions can vary widely among individuals but are generally part of the normal range of responses to stress and trauma. PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and ASD (Acute Stress Disorder) are specific diagnoses that not all individuals will develop following a traumatic event. Maladaptive appraisals of the trauma may occur but are not the initial or most common reaction for most individuals.
