Symptoms will generally persist for at least a month, and for many survivors, these signs represent their first struggles with anxiety. The symptoms fall into the categories of re-experiencing the traumatic event, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, and hyperarousal responses.

Trauma depends on many factors, including a person’s perception of and proximity to the event. In general, traumatic events expose the child to death, serious injury, or violence. Here are some examples of events that could lead to PTSD in children: car accidents, natural disasters, etc.

Trauma triggers can be very intense negative emotional reactions that lead to unhappiness, decreased ability to function, sleep problems, relationship problems, and other issues.
