Stress disorder refers to a mental health condition that is triggered by stressful events or experiences. It can manifest in various ways, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and acute stress disorder (ASD). These conditions are characterized by symptoms that arise in response to a traumatic event, such as a natural disaster, serious accident or physical assault, terrorist act, war, or the sudden death of a loved one. The severity and duration of these symptoms can vary depending on the individual's experience and coping mechanisms. Treatment for stress disorders typically involves therapy and may also involve medication to manage symptoms.
