SP - 228 EP - 230 VL - 77 IS - 4 N2 - Following exposure to a major traumatic event like the August seventh 1998 Nairobi bomb blast various reactions occur, some of which result in stress-related psychiatric disorders. We have described one such case, and used it to illustrate the salient features of post-traumatic stress disorder. We have outlined the diagnostic categories of the post-traumatic disorders and discussed the different treatment modalities applicable.
