EUGENE, Ore.-- Psychiatrists say witnessing a traumatic event, like the man who committed suicide at Regal Cinemas at Valley River Center on Sunday night, can cause a person to have symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder. Dr. David Sanchez of Peacehealth says the witnesses may have symptoms like not being able to sleep or having recurring nightmares about the event.

Sanchez says the best thing for those people to do is talk to a counselor, so the symptoms don't get worse.
