As I noted about a decade ago when I first tackled âhighfalutin,â the origin of the word is uncertain. The reader who sent in that question in 1999 had heard that âhighfalutinâ originally denoted a fine grade of flour used to make a superior sort of bread.
DSM-5 Category: Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders. Introduction. The category of âTrauma and Stressor-related Disordersâ is a new rubric for the variously-named forms of post-traumatic stress disorder, shell shock, combat neurosis and the like.
Stressors are events that cause stress. There are basically 3 types of stressors: 1) Cataclysmic events. Cataclysmic events are events that occur suddenly and usually affect a lot of people simultaneously. An earthquake would be an example of a cataclysmic event. Another example would be a terrorist attack. 2) Personal stressors. Personal stressors are significant life changes such as the death of a close relative, the loss of a job, etc.
