Options:

Traumatic Events

Hassles

Life Events

Social Stress

Correct Answer:

Traumatic Events

Explanation:

Traumatic events encompass a range of extreme incidents, including fires, train or road accidents, robberies, earthquakes, tsunamis, and more. The effects of such events may not immediately surface but can manifest later in the form of anxiety symptoms, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, and recurring nightmares. Moreover, severe trauma can also place strain on personal relationships. When these symptoms persist for an extended period, professional assistance is often necessary to effectively cope with the aftermath of the traumatic event. Seeking professional help becomes crucial, particularly if the symptoms persist for months following the conclusion of the event.
