PTSD is a delayed response to an external traumatic event that produces signs and symptoms of extreme distress. PTSD caused by human actions (for example, rape, acts of war, and continued abuse) tends to precipitate more severe reactions than PTSD caused by natural disasters (for example, hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods).

The overwhelming experience of a threat to the individual's life is a causative factor.
