transient disorder of significant severity, which develops in persons without an apparent mental disorder in response to exceptional physical and psychological stress. It usually goes away within a few hours or days. Stress can be a severe traumatic experience, including a threat to the safety or physical integrity of the individual or significant others, or an unusually abrupt and threatening change in social position and/or environment. Examples of acute stress reactions are:
1) Crying is the most adaptive reaction;
2) aggression;
3) Hysteria (hysterical reaction);
4) Apathy;
5) Fear;
6) Psychomotor excitement;
7) stupor;
8) Nervous trembling.
Depending on the type of acute stress reaction in the work of psychologists, certain algorithms for providing emergency psychological assistance are distinguished.
