What is unusual for a person with ptsd is to become calm.

Usually, individuals suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder are constantly erratic and paranoid, feeling frightened and anxious at the slightest sound because it brings back memories of suffering and pain during their hard times. Drazen is not like that - he feels calm and collected, which is not a usual characteristic of ptsd.
