Stressful situations can trigger a chemical change in the body which is activated to defense against immediate danger or possible death, commonly known as the FIGHT OR FLIGHT response

The FIGHT OR FLIGHT response is an automatic physiological reaction to an event that is perceived as stressful or frightening. The perception of threat activated the sympathetic nervous system and triggers an acute stress response that prepares the body to FIGHT or FLEE.
During the reaction, certain hormones like adrenalin and cortisol are released, speeding up the heart rate, slowing down digestion, shunting blood flow to major muscle groups and changing various automatic nervous functions, giving the body bursts or energy or strength.
Most people when exposed to trauma will experience a range of reactions, and for majority most will overcome the initial symptoms naturally. But those people who experience further problems may also feel concerned, stressed or frightened even when there is no danger present.

The PTSD disorder may and can develop in people who have been exposed to shocking, scary and dangerous situations (such as War). It is a natural for a person to experience emotions of fear during these situations weather actually being involved or a spectator.
