Abstract

Acute traumatic stress symptoms may develop in people who have been exposed to a traumatic event. Although they are usually self‐limiting in time, some people develop post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a severe and debilitating condition. Pharmacological interventions have been proposed for acute symptoms to act as an indicated prevention measure for PTSD development. As many individuals will spontaneously remit, these interventions should balance efficacy and tolerability.
