Solution

Thanks for the question.

PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder occurs in patients who have seen a shocking or a dangerous event. The shock comes from the inability to foresee the situation experienced. This can happen when patients are not educated about what can cause and accident or a shocking event such as an attempt to kill the patient, stab , shoot, fire, etc.

While there is nothing unusual for the petient to be in a state of shock after the event in question, counselling and education on do s and donts of what are good knowledge, practices and beliefs are more important than anything else. Many times the patients are unable to introspect on the cause or errors which lead to the shocking event and they end up with questions such as \"why me\".

It is not unusual for victims to receive a compensation and its not practically possible to pin point an individual case without understanding the demographics, identity, context and events which led to the shocking event.

Thanks
