Abstract: | Case studies of 1) a 9 year old boy who became extremely fearful and lost interest in his school work after watching a stressful event on TV. 2) a 5 year old girl who became fearful and withdrawn, had nightmares after watching a similar event on TV. Post traumatic stress disorder is an intense prolonged and sometimes delayd reaction to extremely stressful events, characterised by persistent hyperarousal, re-experiencing of images of the event and avoidance of reminders. |
