Acute stress reaction
Meet Jane. Just last month, she was in Urgent Care Brisbane following a severe car accident.
She was physically fine but experiencing something else – a whirlwind of intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and a pounding heart that refused to calm down. It felt as if the accident’s trauma was replaying itself repeatedly. She was diagnosed with an Acute Stress Reaction (ASR), a common response following a traumatic event.
