Kestor is exhibiting symptoms consistent with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The traumatic event of being attacked by a bear has caused him to experience difficulty concentrating, getting along with others, sleeping difficulties, and nightmares. These are all common symptoms of PTSD. Generalized anxiety disorder and burnout are not specific to a traumatic event like a bear attack, and diathesis-stress refers to a genetic predisposition and environmental triggers, which is not relevant in this scenario.
