Perceptual vigilance is often associated with anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder. It is a constant awareness of one’s surroundings. This hyper-vigilance can lead to further stress and be a lingering symptom of PTSD. It can cause someone to notice things more often than before because they start subconsciously seeking it out.
