post-traumatic stress disorder · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 创伤后 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 創傷後壓力症候群; on the Mainland it is 创伤后应激障碍 - both point at “post-traumatic stress disorder”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 創傷後壓力症候群、創傷後應激障礙 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
