Question

At 16, Hakeem joined a gang. He participated in a robbery where he watched two gang members get shot by police and one hit by a passing car when running away. After this event, he would never talk about what happened. Prior to this negative social involvement, he was an easy-going kid, but now he is very negative. Hakeem's mother stated that she became concerned when Hakeem would wake up every night screaming at the top of his lungs and reported frequent nightmares. He shook and cried when he thought nobody was looking. He refused to be around people or go to school. Sometimes Hakeem would go in his room and huddle in the corner of his bed with the sheets over his head. Hakeem reported severe headaches, frequent nightmares, sleep disturbance, memory lapses, hyper-vigilance, and anxiety. What is Hakeem's most likely diagnosis?
