Risk Factor
'''The spectrum of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) explores the experiences and insights of patients in life-threatening situations. The expansion of the existing spectrum of PTSD has incorporated the knowledge gained from the patients.''' Persons considered at risk include combat military personnel, survivors of natural disasters, concentration camp survivors, and survivors of violent crime.Persons employed in occupations that expose them to violence (such as soldiers) or disasters (such as emergency service workers) are also at risk. Other occupations that are at higher risk include police officers, firefighters, ambulance personnel, health care professionals, train drivers, divers, journalists, and sailors, in addition to people who work at banks, post offices or in stores.

Trauma
Post-traumatic stress reactions have been studied in children and adolescents. The rate of PTSD might be lower in children than adults, but in the absence of therapy, symptoms may continue for decades. One estimate suggests that the proportion of children and adolescents having PTSD in a non-wartorn population in a developed country may be 1% compared to 1.5% to 3% of adults. On average, 16% of children exposed to a traumatic event develop PTSD, varying according to type of exposure and gender. The girls (32.9%) have risker to be exposed to interpersonal trauma, such as violence; however, the boys (8.4%) who stand a chance of risk were of exposure to non-interpersonal trauma, likely injured due to accidents and disasters. Similar to the adult population, risk factors for PTSD in children include: female gender, exposure to disasters (natural or manmade), negative coping behaviours, and/or lacking proper social support systems.

Intimate partner violence
See also: Rape trauma syndrome

'''Globally, the women (27%) had experienced the risk of physical intimate or non partner violence, and experiencing domestic violence possibly caused negative effects on reproductive and psychological health, such as risk of increasing the HIV and development of PTSD. ''' Also, there is a strong association between the development of PTSD in mothers that experienced domestic violence during the perinatal period of their pregnancy.

Those who have experienced sexual assault or rape may develop symptoms of PTSD. PTSD symptoms include re-experiencing the assault, avoiding things associated with the assault, numbness, and increased anxiety and an increased startle response. The likelihood of sustained symptoms of PTSD is higher if the rapist confined or restrained the person, if the person being raped believed the rapist would kill them, the person who was raped was very young or very old, and if the rapist was someone they knew. The likelihood of sustained severe symptoms is also higher if people around the survivor ignore (or are ignorant of) the rape or blame the rape survivor.

Child molestation trauma

See also: Child sexual abuse

'''Child sexual abuse could be the cause of risking PTSD. Seriously, the youth population of experienced sexual abuse in childhood was 16% of age between 13-17. Female children (34%) prevalent at risk of sexual violence impacted by the social system induced the severe PTSD syndrome ; proximity, sexually abused girls (27.8%) were diagnosed with the clinical level of PTSD syndromes. Concealed the victimization of sexual violence was reinforced by the gender-biased in society; proof of more victims from gender-biased, additional research will be required.'''

Sexually victimized experienced in early life had less insecure attachment with their parents than children who had never been victims. Increasing of risking PTSD possibly caused the relationship between family and friends '''. Overall, early experience of sexual victimization could cause low self-esteem, excessive repulsion of having sex, mistrust, and the possibility of suicide.'''
