Answer 1

Post-traumatic stress disorder can involve flashback to the traumatic incident, along with dreams and intrusive thoughts. This can also occur with phobias, though not as often as PTSD. The hallucinations associated with schizophrenia can also be related to our memories and be considered flashbacks. Same goes for people for abuse hallucinogenic drugs.

Answer 2

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Answer 3

Maybe this will help you obtain an answer.

Schizophrenia:

Their evidence includes 40 studies, which revealed childhood or adulthood sexual or physical abuse in the history of the majority of psychiatric patients and a review of 13 studies of schizophrenics found abuse rates from a low of 51% to a high of 97%. Psychiatric patients who report abuse are much more likely to experience hallucinations – flashbacks which have become part of the schizophrenic experience and hallucinations or voices that bully them as their abuser did thus causing paranoia and a mistrust of people close to them.

They admit not all schizophrenics suffered trauma and not all abused people develop the illness, but believe less traumatic childhood maltreatment, rather than actual abuse, may be an important difference. In their review of the 33,648 studies conducted into the causes of schizophrenia between 1961 and 2000, they found that less than 1% was spent on examining the impact of parental care. Still, they say, there have been enough studies to suggest negative or confusing early care may be an important addition to abuse as a cause.

Answer 4

No pal, not Aspergers. You are probably thinking of Post Traumatic Stress.

Answer 5

No other mental illness besides Post traumatic stress syndrome fits your description.

Answer 6

POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. Flash backs and vivid dreams are so real to these people that they suffer all the physical symptoms that they would have if it were really happening.

The Viet Nam vets are one group that have it really bad.
