Abstract
Forty years after Posttraumatic Stress Disorder was officially recognized, stigma still surrounds this all-too-common response to trauma.
Studies show that in North America, about 50 to 90 per cent of people may experience one or more potentially traumatic events during their lifetime and that 5 to 10 per cent of this group may develop Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
