Night Terror in Children

 
NIGHT TERROR IN CHILDREN
We came to the land of opportunity.We were airlifted from Refugee Campus. . Terror and hostility dominated our life.It feels as if it was in a remote past.
My daughter today felt threatened.
It felt as if she was sleep and awake.
It felt as if he was seeing a dreadful scene.
She was screaming for help.
She was screaming out of fear.
Her hands were raised.
Was she protecting herself?
We came to rescue her.
It felt as if there was a wall between us.
It felt as if she was hallucinating.
She was unresponsive but awake.
All of a sudden she ceased screaming.
There was a peace on her face.
She fell back to sleep.
The following day run its routine course.
My daughter is happier than ever.
She could not recollect anything.
Does she need a psychiatrist’s consult!
Is this a sleep version of PTSD?
