Is Post Traumatic stress disorder in anyway related to Phobias?
writing a paper for my psyc 100 class on phobias and came across PTSD and kinda would like to see how the two are related. Are they similar? Have kind of found that Phobias can be caused by traumatic events and obviously PTSD is too.

both are anxiety disorders. There is also a pretty high co-morbidity between the two, meaning, basically, that many people have both phobias and PTSD.
It has been proposed (and supported empirically) that there is a trait underlying anxiety or that reflects a vulnerability to anxiety disorders–this is called anxiety sensitivity. Arguably, it could reflect vulnerability to any anxiety disorder.
You should be able to search for these terms and get a good bit of information.
yes, i believe so. because of the trauma you had the person might eventually start to develop some phobias. i believe i have read it somewhere.
