Abstract : The emotional response traumatic event has involved with intense fear, helplessness, or horror. In children, the response may take the form of disorganized or agitated behavior [4] Epidemiological studies show that PTSD often remains chronic, with a significant number of people remaining symptomatic several years after the initial event. In support of this view the epidemiological data that shows, recovery frequently does not occur [18]. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the various Psychological aspects related to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the areas of Stress, Anxiety and Depression and to compare between the Male and Female subjects.The subjects comprising of 10 females and 10 males were taken in to study, who faced the floods in Badrinath (Uttarakandh state June,2015), followed by landslides. The sampling method was purposive sampling. The DASS (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale) scale was used for assessment. The collected data was analysed with SPSS 16.0 version. To find the significance in categorical data Chi-Square test was used. The probability value .05 is considered as significant level. In both Male and Female 40% has moderate stress, 35% has severe Stress, and 25% has extremely severe Stress, 20% of them were having moderate anxiety, 30% of them have severe and 50% of them were in severe anxiety, 30% were found to be in Mild depression. 40% of them are having moderate depression and 10% were in severe depression.
