Coping With Traumatic Events


There are as many responses to crisis as there are people affected. Most individuals have intense feelings after a traumatic event but soon completely recover from the trauma; others are more vulnerable — especially those who have had previous traumatic experiences — and will need additional help.

Mental disorders that may can be related to or affected by exposure to traumatic events include:

• Anxiety Disorders

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

• Depression
