yes you can have PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) without having flashbacks. here at the crisis center we see alot of people who went through hurricane Katrina. alot of them dont have flashbacks from their experience but do even now have anxiety/pamic attacks, fear of natural disasters, nightmares of losing their present homes because they were homeless for a time and some still are homeless.
Thanks for this!
