Causes of Anxiety Disorders
OCD may ebb and flow, disappear and re-appear or even become progressively worse. Patients may or may not be aware that their OCD is interfering with their lives and normal routines. PTSD occurs after some physical injuries are inflicted on the patient themselves or they see it being inflicted on loved ones or even strangers. It can be triggered when someone sees or is themselves mugged, raped, physically torture, kidnapped, or is injured in a car or train accident, a plane crash, maybe even a terrorist bombing. If people are caught up in natural disasters like floods, or earthquakes or fires or man-made disasters like war, then PTSD will surface within 3 months.
