Such events often include either experiencing or witnessing a severe accident or physical injury, receiving a life-threatening medical diagnosis, being the victim of kidnapping or torture, exposure to war combat or to a natural disaster, exposure to other disaster (for example, plane crash) or terrorist attack, being the victim of rape, mugging, robbery, or assault, enduring physical, sexual, emotional, or other forms of abuse, as well as involvement in civil conflict. Although the diagnosis of PTSD currently requires that the sufferer has a history of experiencing a traumatic event as defined here, people may develop PTSD in reaction to events that may not qualify as traumatic but can be devastating life events like divorce or unemployment.

A traumatic event is a highly unpredictable and unpleasant incident that produces intense feelings of distress, fear, horror, and helplessness. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), a traumatic event that can trigger posttraumatic stress disorder includes: (1) direct personal experience with an event that involves actual or threatened death, physical harm, or serious injury, (2) being witness to an event that involves death, injury, or threat to the physical integrity of another person, or (3) learning about an unexpected or violent death, serious harm, or threat of death or injury experienced by a family member or friend. Initially, posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms were identified in war veterans as early as the American Civil War and were associated with events experienced during war (such as combat, being taken prisoner, torture, war conditions). However, the term that refers to the condition had changed over the years until it was formally accepted as posttraumatic stress disorder in 1980.
