This doesn't exactly relate, but I've wondered whether Post Traumatic Syndrome is a misnomer because it's the trauma that continues. The counter-argument is, of course, that a person's behavior changes after (post) a traumatic experience, but I see it that the traumatic experience never really ends for those who witness or experience such horrible things.
