Trigger: Difference between revisions

A PTSD [[Trigger]], also known as [[Trigger|triggering]] content, is material that affects someone who has gone through trauma in a way that sets off Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Other types of triggers exist: [[I Need a Freaking Drink]] is when something triggers someone to need alcohol (or another substance). A negative behavior trigger is something that triggers an addictive response as opposed to trauma. Seizure triggers are flashing lights or other patterns that affect people with photosensitive seizures, and suicide triggering is the invoking of suicidal or hopeless feelings in a depressed person. The [[Berserk Button]] is triggering of anger or irrational rage.

 

 

'''Do not put trigger warnings on any [[TV Tropes]] pages other than [[Fan Fic Recommendations]].''' Works that have full pages should already indicate the existence of triggering content in the description or trope list in a natural way, and a trope's description should be a good indication of whether or not there will be any significant triggering content in its examples.
