The disorder may or may not be associated with acute stress, defined as usually stressful events preceding the onset by one to two weeks.

The EU SDS is a long-term strategy which provides a good framework for guiding and reporting on long-term broad developments and promoting forward-looking reflection on sustainability, but it also requires short-term policy action.
