Are There Different Forms Of Trauma?

There are several types of trauma disorders, including:

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety and difficulty coping with daily life. It also causes one to avoid anything that reminds them of the trauma.

Acute Stress Disorder (ASD)

Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) is a short term mental health condition that occurs in response to a traumatic event, typically lasting from a few days to a month. Symptoms can include dissociation, intrusive thoughts, heightened anxiety and difficulty functioning in daily life. 

Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)

Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is a condition that occurs in children who have experienced severe neglect or trauma, affecting their ability to form healthy emotional bonds. Symptoms may include difficulty trusting caregivers, emotional withdrawal and problems with social interactions.

Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED)

Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder (DSED) is a condition where children display overly familiar behaviour with strangers, often due to early neglect or inconsistent caregiving. These children may approach unfamiliar adults without hesitation and struggle with appropriate social boundaries and attachments.
