I remember a long time ago I saw a documentary on this little girl who went through some sort of major trauma and quit talking because of it. Well, one of my current stories is centered around a girl with a similar story, and I was wondering something: what is the name of this psychological condition? I've been kind of winging it with the story, but I figured it would be good to do some research on it, and I can only do research on it if I know what it's called.

I read a book about that once, I think it was called silent to the bone, I think it's called post traumatic stress but I'm not sure...

I know it's a type of post traumatic stress, but I don't know if it has a specific name or anything. . .

Yeah, I looked up "Silent to the Bone", but the summary didn't give a name to the condition.

Meh... it isn't actually.
It's something you're born with.
I don't think there is an actual name for it, if it happens because of a traumatic event.

It's close, but it doesn't really sound exactly like the character I'm writing about. . .
