Emotional shock with lasting effects (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trauma

(Other definitions for trauma that I've seen before include "Deeply distressing or disturbing experience" , "Emotional shock producing lasting effect" , "Emotional upset" , "Emotional shock, long-lasting" , "Psychological 23" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
