CHAPTER

Evaluating PTSD: Clinical vs Comprehensive Approach

This chapter explores the contrast between the clinical evaluations for post-traumatic stress disorder by the VA and a more in-depth assessment process that uncovers the complexities of an individual's mental health post-trauma. It delves into the limitations of quick assessments, the importance of honesty during evaluations, and the speaker's reflections on their own PTSD rating. The conversation also delves into the evolution of the PTSD diagnosis, the challenges of defining trauma, and the financial implications tied to disability ratings for veterans.
