There are a number of things that go through the mind of a person who has been seriously injured as the result of the negligent actions of another person.
There are mounting medical bills to worry about as well as the emotional pain and stress caused by the accident.
Another issue that may present itself after such an accident is the disorder Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, or PTSD.
PTSD is an anxiety disorder that occurs in certain individuals who have survived periods of extreme trauma or stress, such as an accident that involved the imminent threat of injury or death.
It is difficult for a person suffering from PTSD to be aware of what is happening to him or her.
It is therefore very important for close friends and family members to be on the look out for certain symptoms that may manifest themselves over a period of time after an accident.
Symptoms of PTSD include:

• Recurrent flashbacks to the accident and anything that may have occurred right before or after the incident
• Recurrent, traumatic and upsetting memories regarding the incident
• Amnesia related to the traumatic event
• Upsetting dreams and nightmares
• Hopelessness
• Agoraphobia which may get to the point where the victim is afraid of leaving the house
• Difficulty concentrating or getting things done at school or work
• Irritability or anger outbursts that are frequent and difficult to control
• Severe insomnia that may include difficulty going to bed, staying asleep through the night, or both

PTSD is an intensely painful and upsetting disorder that should not be taken lightly.
Victims should get treatment for the disorder as soon as signs start to appear.
A counselor or psychologist may help the victim understand his or her feelings about the accident and lessen his or her anxiety surrounding the event.
