Post traumatic stress disorder, often abbreviated as PTSD, refers to a psychological condition where a person who has lived through a serious trauma (such as witnessing a murder, being in combat during a war, being the victim of a crime like rape or assault, etc) is affected by this trauma even months or years later. A triggering event, something that suddenly reminds the person of the trauma, can take the person back to that horrible experience and make him or her relive it all over again.
