Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Karabo's symptoms of frequent thoughts, nightmares, and fear following the attack suggest that she was experiencing acute stress disorder. However, since she has returned to feeling normal after a month, it is unlikely that she has developed post-traumatic stress disorder. Agoraphobia and panic disorder are not mentioned in the scenario and are not relevant to her specific symptoms.
