Differences and similarities between the three approaches will be taken into account, and a synthesis of the approaches will be offered.
Symptoms and problems of PTSD PTSD is a popular anxiety disorder. This is where people who encounter a very traumatic experience, does not recover. The disorder is triggered after traumatic events such as violent personal assaults such as mugging or rape, or to family, natural disasters such as earthquakes, accidents such as car crashes, human disasters such as 9/11 and after military combat such as the soldiers who fought in WWII.

Often, a person with PTSD will change their entire outlook on life after a traumatic event. The symptoms of their PTSD will cause them to reevaluate their life, and often cause them to make irrational decisions based on fear of such an event occurring

Grieving is health, but often painful emotional reaction to loss. Abnormal grieving occurs when this reaction is prolonged, delayed or otherwise unresolved over a long period of time. Grieving is considered abnormal when it is accompanied by suicidal thoughts or if they are psychotic symptoms such as loss of contact with reality or they are significant weight gain or weight loss.
