Which condition may occur after someone experiences a traumatic event causing intense fear, helplessness, or horror?

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Developmental Disabilities
Borderline Personality Disorder
Depression

The correct answer is: Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

After someone experiences a traumatic event causing intense fear, helplessness, or horror, they may develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop in individuals who have experienced a traumatic event. Symptoms of PTSD can include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. It is essential for individuals with PTSD to seek therapy and treatment to help them cope and recover from the traumatic experience. Developmental disabilities, borderline personality disorder, and depression are mental health conditions that can also impact individuals, but they are not directly linked to experiencing a traumatic event causing intense fear, helplessness, or horror.
