You can point people to the Wikipedia article in French.

Le trouble de stress post-traumatique ou TSPT, aussi connu sous les termes de Syndrome de stress post-traumatique, SSPT, ou État de stress post-traumatique dans la (en anglais PTSD, pour Posttraumatic stress disorder) désigne un type de trouble anxieux sévère qui se manifeste à la suite d’une expérience vécue comme traumatisante avec une confrontation à des idées de mort.

Le trouble de stress post-traumatique est une réaction psychologique consécutive à une situation durant laquelle l’intégrité physique et/ou psychologique du patient et/ou de son entourage a été menacée et/ou effectivement atteinte (notamment accident grave, mort violente, viol, agression, maladie grave, guerre, attentat). Les capacités d’adaptation (comment faire face) du sujet sont débordées. La réaction immédiate à l’événement aura été traduite par une peur intense, par un sentiment d’impuissance ou par un sentiment d’horreur.
