When a person who has gone through a dramatic event and keeps on reliving them, AND yet not being concious about it. With the proper psychological treatment, the person can go through those memories again without reliving the actual events over and over for the rest of their lives.
For the sake of this example, we'll say that the patient is called Mark.
Mark is a 39 year old lawyer, who has been with his firm for 10 years. Mark was witness to a shotting from a robbery gone bad. Mark in the process of trying to help the person who got shot, he also got shot on the right leg.
Mark was taken to the hospital and discharged a few days later. He went back to work next week and never took some real time off.
Mark keeps wondering why every time he hears chimes, a sirens or a similar sound, he get edgy and sometimes scared. After the urging from his boss to go seek help from a professional, he finds out that he has Post-dramatic Stress Disorder (PDSD).
The reason why Mark reacts the way he does when he hears certain sounds, is because his brain associates those sounds with the ones that took place when he was shoot.
With proper treatment, Mark was able to move behond that, and has no problems now with sounds at all.

Get the post-dramatic stress disorder mug.A wiki based on the social media closedverse, created by Gnarly and others. Its primary inspiration is Encyclopedia Dramatica, but instead of going for comedic or irony like old ED, it instead tries (and fails, unsurprisingly) to emulate the post-2004 ED with its constant admin brown nosing, lack of self awareness, blatant slander and shit flinging at basically random popular people, children or otherwise, under the flimsy guise of "satire".
A very common group of phrases you'll run into on this site include, but are not limited to, "faggot" and its synonyms, "retarded", "autistic", "nigger", and many, many, many other immature quips, which is reflective of the actual state of the site owner's mind - a teenager on the internet trying anything to get any kind of attention.

Encyclopedia Dramatica is a joke encyclopedia that embodies the very essence of offensiveness and the phrase "if you can't beat them, join them". It manages to be funny not because of the wit of its writers, but because of the reactions it incites.
I mean seriously, look at the other definitions on urbandictionary that insult Encyclopedia Dramatica. Don't they look familiar?

Get the encyclopedia dramatica mug.Hella funny satire that humorless bores on Urban Dictionary apparently get offended by. However, as ingenious as it can be, the site suffers from the overuse of the word 'furry,' as it's written on nearly every paragraph.
These people can't handle the LULZ on Encyclopedia Dramatica. They made fun of their favorited bubble gum pop band My Chemical Romance on the intrawebz, and now they're offended for life and will now go do some cutting.

Get the Dramatitis mug.When some situation is way past the level of plain ol' drama and not quite fantastic (because fantastic can often allude to something positive)--the conflation of the two is dramatastic. It's fantastically dramatic, like drama on a whole other level. It's the kind of thing, no sane person wants any part of.
