It's called Post TRAUMATIC stress disorder.
This happens then a person is psychologically traumatized long after something bad happens to them.
This is common for war vets and people who were abused as children.

It is actually called PTSD- post traumatic stress disorder.
This is when a person is exposed to a traumatic event (life changing such as a rape, death in the family, tornado or other catastrophe, car accident... etc..) and they have stress or anxiety from this for a long time after. It can last months or years. Anxiety, not sleeping well, panic attacks, reliving the situation over and over, crying etc....
Hope this answers your question.

It's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and it's pretty much what it sounds like. An anxiety disorder that occurs after experiencing or witnessing something traumatic. Rape or abuse victims and war veterans are some groups that may develop PTSD.
