Symptoms of Acute Stress Disorder
People who have Acute Stress Disorder can suffer from a variety of symptoms that fall into one of five categories.
Arousal Symptoms
These symptoms include mood swings, irritability, inability to focus, and difficulty sleeping.
Avoidance Symptoms
In order to avoid anything associated with the terrifying event, people will tend to stay away from the people, places, and feelings that remind them of the trauma that they endured.
Dissociative Symptoms
These symptoms include a sense of being detached from yourself and your emotions, the inability to remember certain events or people, and the general feeling of being in a daze.
Negative Mood Symptoms
These symptoms can have a profound impact on your quality of life. People who experience them suffer from sadness, a low mood, and the inability to experience positive feelings such as happiness.
Intrusion Symptoms
These symptoms can be terrifying as they cause the person to experience recurrent flashbacks and even nightmares about the event.
In addition to these five categories, people may also suffer physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, chest pain, difficulty breathing, nausea, stomach pain, and sweating.

Acute Stress Disorder and PTSD
Acute Stress Disorder is nearly identical to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in its causes and symptoms. The main point of differentiation is that PTSD is considered to be a long-term condition. While some people with ASD will go on to develop PTSD, treatment and counseling from a licensed clinical psychologist can help to reduce the risk and increase the chances of making a full recovery.
