#12- PTSD Because of Boston Bombings?

Post traumatic stress disorder is going to be a major concern for people who were at the Boston marathon bombings. But what about people who witnessed it, had friends and relatives at the bombings? How are they affected? What about the rest of the country. People all over the states and even Canada could be affected by PTSD and become worried about attend public events like parades and fairs. The bombs were made to cause mutilation and damage not to kill people. The intent was to inflict fear in the average citizen and people know that. Some people may rally and groups may form to show strength but the majority of the population in North America is going to become scared and worried about their safety. Also doubt in the government could also develop.
