Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is a disorder that develops after exposure to traumatic events.

• A. Panic Attack
• B. Generalized Anxiety Disorder
• C. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
• D. OCD

Answer: (C)

PTSD is a trauma- and stressor-related disorder defined by development after exposure to a traumatic event, with symptoms such as re-experiencing, avoidance, negative mood/cognition, and arousal that persist for more than a month and cause distress or impairment. This makes it the correct choice because trauma exposure is the trigger for the disorder. The other conditions involve anxiety but do not require trauma exposure: panic attacks are sudden surges of fear not tied to trauma, generalized anxiety disorder involves chronic worry across various domains, and OCD centers on intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
