Avoidance: Avoidance of reminders, thoughts, or feelings associated with the trauma.

Hyperarousal: Heightened reactions, such as irritability, difficulty sleeping, or being easily startled.

Combat or Military Trauma: Experiencing trauma during military service.

Accidents: Involvement in or witnessing serious accidents.

Natural Disasters: Impact from natural events such as earthquakes, floods, or hurricanes.
