Posttraumatic Clown Disorder
A potentially crippling psychological disorder resulting from frightening experiences, usually suffered in childhood, with dangerous clowns.
The clowns were always so friendly at first and then there was this weird thing, like a sudden switch that would occur; I can see all their faces distorted in my mind and the trigger is often just a little circus music or carnival sounds and I am right back there all over again thanks to my Posttraumatic Clown Disorder!
