-One study found that the average person with PTSD misses about 3.6 days a month of work due from anger, alarm, or distress. They also have lots of events throughout their daily lives like noises and experiences that remind them of the war, so someone with PTSD could change emotion on a dime.
 -Finally, another study showed that the most common cause of PTSD is the unexpected death of a loved one which shows that PTSD can happen to anyone who experiences major trauma.

Another is a partial reliving of the event through one of the senses, similar to deja vu. This can include smell, emotions that were felt during the original event, physical feelings, and even the sensation of temperature changing for the person experiencing PTSD. The least common form of PTSD affecting daily life is a full-blown flashback, where a person completely relives the traumatic event. However, most of those who suffer from PTSD do not ever experience an immersive flashback. This form of PTSD has been made to seem more common by books and movies, which tend to exaggerate the occurrence of such symptoms. Billy's hallucinations or sense of a reality differing from this one could be meant to be the result of PTSD. A real-life example is many of the soldiers who came home after the World Wars faced "shell shock"–later known as PTSD–and had immense difficulty readjusting to civilian life after the horrors of the war.  ]]> 2017-03-02 17:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ians19321/xy5sd7h3le2t/wish/157416765 quinns19249 https://padlet.com/ians19321/xy5sd7h3le2t/wish/158101675 2017-03-06 17:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ians19321/xy5sd7h3le2t/wish/158101675 madelinel19122 https://padlet.com/ians19321/xy5sd7h3le2t/wish/158101846 PTSD is a condition that is a result of traumatic experiences and can severely affect how its victims, including the character of Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse-Five, see and deal with the world. ]]> 2017-03-06 17:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ians19321/xy5sd7h3le2t/wish/158101846 quinns19249 https://padlet.com/ians19321/xy5sd7h3le2t/wish/158104221 In conclusion, PTSD occurs when a tramatic event is experienced causing many emotional and mental problems while hurting thousands of people worldwide.]]> 2017-03-06 17:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ians19321/xy5sd7h3le2t/wish/158104221
