This rang true for me as well. I'd never heard of acro compared to Post Traumatic Dress Disorder (PTSD). I definitely have all of these symptoms to some degree - "diminished recall, feelings of detachment, difficulties falling or staying asleep, irritability, diminished concentration, depression, and social withdrawal (Furman and Ezzat, 1998)."
It makes me feel so stupid when I can't remember things - even things about my own life that my friends can recall! And the inability to concentrate is so frustrating I've seriously thought about getting some ADHD drugs. The feelings of detachment are just plain scary at times.
