What is an acute stress reaction?

Acute stress reactions are traumatic reactions that occur within a month of the incident. Usually involves a reaction to an abrupt, single easily identified cause (i.e. the sort of stress that happens after any threatening event, including a critical incident). Reactions that develop later than one month post event are called post-traumatic stress reactions (HSE, 2012).
