Detonators: Incapability for the confrontation to the stress, especially before:

- Powerlessness before the impossibility of flight and/or avoidance of the aversive stimulus Its cognitive level allows him to realize and suffer the consistent emotional impact, as well as wishing to die.

He asks for help repeatedly to go out of his situation!
