Acute stress disorder is a condition resulting from a psychological shock.1 It is not related to the “shock” of the circulatory system.1 It often results in the affected person being in a “daze” after the onset of the shock.1 Acute Stress Disorder is also closely related with post traumatic stress disorder and is often talked about in conjunction with this disorder.1
Fast Facts:
- Also called acute stress reaction, psychological shock, or mental shock.1
