Question

Ginny experienced an unplanned pregnancy and was pressured by her parents into having it terminated about six weeks ago. She has not slept well since then and, although she was not awake for the operation, she keeps having nightmares aboutthe surgery. She has avoided all contact with her parents and will only go out after 10 pm. when most children are indoors. What condition does she have?

Answer 1

Answer: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the symptoms of PTSD is being unable to confront the causes and effects of the events that traumatized the person so that they don't recreate the event itself.

Ginny is going out at night to avoid children as she does not want to think about the child she had lost and she is avoiding her parents as they are the ones who caused the situation in the first place. This points to classic PTSD.
