On her way home from work, Amora was carjacked by two men who took her purse and keys at
gunpoint. They forced her to drive them to the outskirts of town, threatening to kill her if she didn't
comply, then threw her from the car and sped off. Now, a week later, she is still shaken by the
event. She never travels alone—not even to and from work. She usually travels by taxi and
requests a different route to avoid the area where she was attacked and has a hard time
concentrating at work because of how frequently the thoughts of what occurred plague her mind.
She's had difficulty sleeping; refuses to talk about what happened; and has frequent, unprovoked
crying spells. Amora is likely suffering from
panic disorder.
obsessive-compulsive disorder.
post-traumatic stress disorder.
acute stress disorder.
