do you have trouble sleeping or eating?

A licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland interviewed a woman who had witnessed a murder, from ten feet away, and noted that 1] she kept "re-experiencing the event." This meant that when she heard a door slam, it reminded her of how the door slammed five years ago, in the old country, when the bad guys came in. Also, she had trouble falling asleep, and staying asleep. She felt nervous, and had nightmares. 2] the woman wanted to "avoid" the event. She said, "I do not really want to talk about it." 3] physical effects: "I often am not hungry; I do not care about food so much anymore."
