Reaction to the Catastrophe

Disaster reaction Reactive psychosis is an acute reaction of the psyche to various extreme events, for example, an earthquake, a ship crash, or others. It occurs when a person is faced with terrible images and experiences that cause panic and twilight stupefaction. In such a situation, chaotic excitement, panic flight, or, conversely, numbness may occur; often a person experiences bouts of crying or laughter. In addition, he may be plagued by affective blindness or other disorders.

Without the help of a specialist in such a condition, it is difficult for a person to cope with such conditions on his own.
