Is it possible for someone to get Post Tramatic Stress Disorder from a divorce?


Make that Post "Traumatic" Stress Disorder...

No not from the divorce but if there was violence that lead to the divorce that could be a source of PTSD.

yes

yes, you need antidepresants

I doubt it, but I suspect someone could still show tramatic symptoms.

Doubt it. Perhaps some incidents that caused the divorce could be traumatic enough to warrant PTSD, but the entire experience collectively causing the disorder is highly unlikely.

If the person is still exhibiting these behaviors after several months, despite treatment efforts, perhaps it can be called Post Traumatic Stress.

Highly unlikely but not impossible, since every individual is different, and sometimes classification of symptoms cannot simply be generalised from one case to another. PTSD is more of an extreme reaction to unusually traumatic events e.g. disasters.

Adjustment disorder would be more commonly diagnosed in the case of marital disruptions, if it is maladaptive (impairment of individual's daily activities), occurs within 3 months of the stressor (divorce), and persists no longer than 6 months.

no
