Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

There are some industries where the risk of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is elevated. For example, if you drive for a living, you are at more risk of being involved in a car accident. Similarly, if you work in a bank or post office, there is a possibility that it could get held up by armed robbers. Both are potentially traumatic experiences that could lead to PTSD, characterised by sleep disturbances, nightmares, sweats and shakes.
