Whereas chronic stress disorder is the response to an ongoing trigger, acute stress disorder is a continuing response to a one-time stressor. It is not the reaction a person has in the moment of trauma, which is often healthy and expected stress. Instead, the person carries that intensity of tension into the following days or weeks. With acute stress disorder, the person may have elevated stress hormones as a response to an event for three days to one month. Less than three days of stress may be a normal reaction to an event. More than one month of this reaction may be an anxiety disorder.
