Post-traumatic stress disorder, also known as PTSD, was a psychological condition that was caused by traumatic events. An individual who developed this disorder could experience changes in sleeping patterns, flashbacks to the trauma that triggered it, changes in personality, and associated mood disorders. Some individuals experienced memory loss. This condition could affect a variety of species, including Gands and Rodians.^[1]

Tuffass, a Gand Gunnery Sergeant with the Republic Marines, developed post-traumatic stress disorder shortly after the Battle of Yavin 4, during the Great Sith War. The disorder stemmed from his injuries, which he was almost dismembered by a Massassi warrior during battle. Afterward, he suffered flashbacks and his personality shifted; he was more edgy and irritable and handled stress with more aggression. Tuffass refused treatment for the disorder and instead chose to cope through meditation and exercise. As the Gand grew older, the severity of the symptoms began to subside.

A former Rodian bounty hunter, Camilla Sookanado, also developed post-traumatic stress disorder, which stemmed from a past hunt that had ended in her imprisonment on a nameless planet in the Outer Rim Territories. The disorder manifested in severe depression, paranoia, and states of psychogenic fugue. Due to the severity of the disorder, Camilla was forced to retire from bounty hunting. The condition was blamed for her parole violation in 26 ABY, in which Camilla spent six months of an eighteen-month sentence in the Bedacus-Lambrecht Correctional Facility on Coruscant.^[1]
