Post-traumatic Stress Disorder in KidsPTSD reactions in children and adolescents may include some of the following symptoms: Feelings of fear and anxiety. For example, a child involved in a bus accident may be scared travelling on transport, or being afraid of returning to the place the accident happened. Following a traumatic experience, fear and anxiety reactions in children may occur suddenly, (‘out of the blue’) and the child may not necessarily make the link between their fear and situations which give rise to their fear and anxiety symptoms, as trauma-related reminders (e.g., buses) may spread to include other distantly trauma-related experiences (e.g., travelling on other types of transportation including cars and trains).
