While controversy flares over whether this anxiety-related condition even exists, two men are certain of it based on their own experiences. This program examines the disorder associated with anxiety symptoms experienced following the witnessing of a traumatic event.

An expert from a hospital traumatic stress unit tells why she supports the view that the condition does, indeed exist.
