15) Read the following paragraph.

Lastly, fear is so powerful that it can cause imagined scenarios. Mary Lamia explains that PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) is a disorder “…where the consequence of a prior situation where [a person was in] danger is re-lived in the present where the emotional memories are triggered” (2). Generally speaking, PTSD causes people to think back to a dangerous situation they were in and imagine that it is happening again in the present. Julia Butterfly Hill explains that during a PTSD attack, even though a person “…may intellectually know that [they] are safe, [their] brain automatically prepares [them] for the worst to happen—a situation that it recognizes has happened before—which speaks to the power of emotional memory” (1). Even though something may not actually be happening, people could imagine it because of extreme fear in the past.
