A serious fall may develop symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder 

Article in “Health Behavior News Service” shows that older adults who experience a serious fall may develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the days following the event. Women, people who were unemployed or who had less education were more likely to report post-traumatic stress symptoms, as were those with injuries to the back or chest. "Anyone who goes through an accident in which they feel their life may be in danger or they could get physically harmed can develop post-traumatic stress symptoms," the author states.
