Answer:

The correct answer is D posttraumatic stress disorder

Step-by-step explanation:

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a possible psychological and behavioral consequence of exposure to a traumatic event. It can occur in people of all ages. Four predominant symptoms appear: re-experiencing the traumatic event, avoidance of trauma-related stimuli, mental dullness and a state of hyperarousal. The most common re-experiencing symptoms include fear, intrusive thoughts related to the trauma, and recurring nightmares or dreams about the traumatic event. People with post-traumatic stress disorder show disorganized behaviors and agitation. Treatment of this disorder corresponds to psychiatrists and clinical psychologists.
