Criteria In The Dsm Iv

[Jimmy1]

I have noticed that a lot of people still ask what symptoms are normal and some are unsure whether they actually have PTSD. Well I have attached a document from a few years ago, it has probably been updated by now, but it gives the basic outline that psych's use to diagnose PTSD.

Remember, this is just the diagnosis and some symptoms. There are a shit load of other symptoms which are just tag ons due to the high levels of anxiety and stress we are under

Hope it helps someone.

Thanks Jimmy, nothing new there, but sometimes it does help to read and remember why you have a diagnosis, and that the diagnosis fits. It seems sometimes I doubt the diagnosis, and yet it's all right there in black and white.
