Cаrmen repоrts thаt she is frequently sаd and can’t quit crying. She says her prоblems have been cоnstant ever since she was raped 2 months ago. Since that time, Carmen finds herself reliving the rape in her mind every time she walks past an ally at night. Carmen has tried to avoid walking at night to avoid the reminders, but she works the midnight shift just four blocks from home. Sometimes she doesn’t know exactly when she will get off, making it difficult to plan ahead to have a cab waiting, and besides, the $15 charge for a 4-block cab ride adds up to a great expense. She often walks home knowing she won’t be able to quit thinking about the rape, and typically arrives home in tears, trembling, and with her heart pounding. Carmen feels very sad lately, and feels guilty that she did not get a cab on the night she was raped. Carmen has been very jumpy lately with little noises like the air conditioner clicking on making her jump and her heart pound. She has been having trouble concentrating and can’t even seem to read for pleasure without getting distracted by thoughts of the rape. Which diagnosis is most likely for Carmen?
