Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acute stress disorder is a severe anxiety reaction that takes place immediately, or very soon, after an extremely stressful event. This reaction can last from 3 days to 1 month, and if it lasts longer, it is usually diagnosed as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder are other types of anxiety disorders, but they do not necessarily have a specific trigger related to a stressful event.
