Abstract
Both acute stress disorder (ASD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are conditions that can occur in people who have been exposed to a traumatic life event. Traumatic events are thought to occur in at least 50% of the population. This article compares and contrasts the neuropsychology, neuroendocrinology and neurobiology of ASD and PTSD. © 2007
