It can also develop at a later date following the stressful event, even though the threat is no longer an issue.

I had an issue with constantly checking and locking doors, after horrible event. it was compulsive. there is also a heightened sense of vulnerability, and distrust of strangers.

I was in a head-on collision in 2009, days after my mother died. I'm still tense riding in a car. :/

Rachel, It is a real thing however it is not easy to diagnose. I know people who claim to have it just to get government/insurance money. They have even told me that the doctor has to use the right wording in order to qualify. So sad
