GINAORLANDO, MA, CH, CHICAGOHEALERS.COM practitioner: "The feeling of anxietyamong people linked to tragedies, such as the recent Northern IllinoisUniversity shooting, I described as 'post-tragedy syndrome.'

When anystudent, or civilian, experiences a tragedy like the one at NIU, it can oftenoccupy a lot of one's thoughts and almost feels like it's running like anegative loop in your mind.
