Relationship break up and PTSD

[Marshalscienceguy]

This is often a disorder associated with people who have suffered rape, or witnessed a murder, have been abused or have come back from war. Not something you think about when you think about a Teenage girl breaking up with her infatuation. I was discussing this with someone about the movie "Twilight". She starts getting severe nightmares and starts waking screaming and its due to the fact her boyfriend dumped her and moved away. Now as someone who has had some very horrible breaks up in the past myself I dont really see how this would give you nightmares but I wanted to discuss it. Do you believe its possible to get PTSD from someone simply breaking up?
