      Factors increasing the risk of acute stress disorder (ASD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in someone suffering a sufficient precipitating event include the following:
      Loss of a loved one in the event
      Significant injury from the event
      Witnessing of horrendous images
      Dissociation at the time of the traumatic event
      Development of serious depressive symptoms within 1 week that last for 1 month or longer
      Numbness, depersonalization, a sense of reliving the trauma, and motor restlessness after the event
      Preexisting psychiatric problems
      Previous trauma
      Loss of home or community

        The University of Iowa, Coping with Death, Grief, and Loss

        Helpguide.org, Coping with Grief and Loss: Guide to Grieving and Bereavement
