I do wonder about something though, what exactly qualifies someone to have PTSD? I know traumatic experiences, abuse, and having been in war all cause PTSD, but are there other reasons a person can have it? Just wondering.

Anything event(s) (experienced or witnessed by an individual) that is potentially life-threatening and causes extreme stress reactions in a person could cause PTSD. Serious accidents and natural disasters could cause PTSD, however, more incidents result from violence from another person.
