Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. PTSDPanic attacksdepression...very deciding to know all this...flashback phenomenon- A condition in which person starts relieving the bad experience which he has experienced in the past(flashbacks)due to repeated experiencing of flashback phenomenon there will be adrenergic hyper activity, it means there will be pounding heart beat settings tremor palpitations impending Doom of death sleep disturbance preoccupied thoughts of illness etc...in due course of time due to all the above symptoms person will be generally landing into depression and and when the condition for their aggravates there might be several panic attacks in due course of time...it's better to consult a psychologist take cognitive behaviour therapy sessions and also consult psychiatrist Intex supporting medications for these conditions like antidepressants and benzodiazepines for short term basis which makes your child feel lot better...encourage him to go for a daily walk in the morning and exercise 2 to 3 times per day which helps in reduction of panic attacks. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
