A woman regularly suffers from horrible memories and nightmares following the tragic death of a family member. These symptoms are affecting the woman’s ability to be productive at work. What disorder is this woman most likely going to be diagnosed with?

Horrible memories and nightmares that continue after a traumatic event are common symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Because the symptoms are interfering with her work, they are affecting her daily functioning. The best choice is post-traumatic stress disorder; depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder do not best match the symptoms described.
