    Psychological Disorder Analysis

    The DSM-IV states one of the criteria of PTSD is increased levels of arousal including insomnia, irritability, and hypervigilance. “People with these disorders may feel overly alert, be easily startled, develop sleep problems, and have trouble concentrating” (Comer, 2005) (pg. 136).
