While some symptoms may be shared with other disorders, it is imperative that a diagnosis is made by an experienced and licensed professional, since the wrong treatment can be harmful.

Dissociation/Depersonalization (flashbacks, out-of-body feelings)
Hyper-Arousal (triggers anger or hurt in response to what would be considered insignificant events to others)
Transient Psychosis
Depression

Direct therapeutic exposure to the trauma (e.g. systematic desensitization or flooding) or even focused group discussion, followed by cognitive reframing.
