This refers to a mental injury that can cause a mental disorder after a certain amount of time has passed. It is also called trauma. When a person experiences strong mental stress from facing death or the death of a loved one in an unpredictable event such as a disaster, accident, crime, or combat, they may subsequently experience specific symptoms of mental shock, such as a dulled feeling, repeated recollections of the experience, or panic at similar events (→ post-traumatic stress disorder). Rape, child abuse, and domestic violence can also be traumatic. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
