What us the difference between trauma and just being sad
In: 0
You must not be a native english speaker. “Trauma” implies an event with horrible consequences or effects, so a “traumatic injury” could be something like breaking several bones or losing a limb. You probably wouldn’t call a single broken bone “traumatic” in most cases. It lacks the severity. “Emotional trauma” would be a similar kind of damage, but done on a psychological level, like rape.
“Just being sad” couldn’t be further from “emotional trauma.” You might as well ask what’s the difference between a broken bone and a paper cut.
