Answer:

PTSD

Step-by-step explanation:

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a disorder faced by the individual after he witnesses a traumatic experience in his life. It can be a natural disaster, an accident or any kind of serious assault which would lead to PTSD. The symptoms may involve memories of past events, not getting sleep or facing difficulties to respond to things related to the event. In the above case, Hannah is experiencing a PTSD about the road accident she faced last week.
