Lose a single person in an accident, and the lives of five or six more people--family, friends--are rocked. Each of those five or six lives may touch five or six more. If the original death toll is higher--say, 168 in a truck-bomb blast--the shock waves may extend across an entire state. And when the number of fatalities reaches the thousands, the very mental health of a nation can be shaken." (TIME) This article relays that, in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, individuals nationwide "have found themselves jumping at shadows, avoiding crowds" and struggling to overcome feelings of fear and anxiety. Included is an analysis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which may pose a risk to the American public.Summary: COLD SWEAT AND FLASHBACK -- "Perhaps a simple door slam will become startling. Or the thought of entering an elevator or airplane will result in paralyzing anxiety. Maybe sleepless nights, a defense against terrifying nightmares. Long after life resumes the vague outlines of normalcy, the emotional effects of last week's traumatic events will continue." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) This article describes the emotional impact of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on citizens of the United States and examines coping techniques utilized by individuals across the nation to process and overcome this tragedy.
