Jeffrey L. Thomas,Joshua E. Wilk,Lyndon A. Riviere,Dennis McGurk,Carl A. Castro,Charles W. Hoge +5 more
TL;DR: The prevalence rates of PTSD and depression after returning from combat ranged from 9% to 31% depending on the level of functional impairment reported, and the high comorbidity with alcohol misuse and aggression highlights the need for comprehensive postdeployment screening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stigma, Barriers to Care, and Use of Mental Health Services Among Active Duty and National Guard Soldiers After Combat
TL;DR: Examination of rates of utilization of mental health care among active duty and National Guard soldiers with mental health problems three and 12 months after they returned from combat in Iraq found active duty soldiers with a mental health problem had significantly lower rates of service utilization and significantly higher endorsements of stigma.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in US combat soldiers: a head-to-head comparison of DSM-5 versus DSM-IV-TR symptom criteria with the PTSD checklist
TL;DR: Clinicians need to consider how to manage discordant outcomes, particularly for service members and veterans with PTSD who no longer meet criteria under DSM-5, as the new PTSD symptom criteria do not seem to have greater clinical utility, and a high percentage of soldiers who met criteria by one definition did not meet the other criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
