> I've read references to people having "flashbacks" - what does this mean in terms of a psychiatric perspective? Thanks.
What MM said. It usually means the person has suffered some sort of traumatic event, and the "flashback" is when they sort of feel like they're reexperiencing the traum
(There are also hallucinogen-related flashbacks -- a little different, but the same general idea.)
