Psychological trauma

Psychological trauma may accompany physical trauma, or exist independently. Typical causes of psychological trauma are abuse, violence, the threat of either, or the witnessing of either, particularly in childhood. Natural events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can cause psychological trauma. Man-made events such as armed conflict also inflict psychological trauma.
