PTSD can occur when an individual has gone through an extreme emotional trauma that involved the threat of injury or death. Many soldiers who came home from the Vietnam war suffered from PTSD. When suffering with the disorder, anything can trigger an episode that brings the soldier back to their time over seas and they'll begin to have a flashback. Depending on how intense the flashback is the soldier can become dangerous. A high percentage of people who have suffered from the disorder have committed suicide to escape the recurring nightmares of what they went through during the war.
