Severe emotional suffering (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trauma

(Other definitions for trauma that I've seen before include "Nervous shock" , "Deeply distressing or disturbing experience" , "Deeply-upsetting shock" , "Emotional shock producing lasting effect" , "Physical injury - powerful emotional shock" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
