Secondary Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Overdiagnosed

Military.com reports that a new study found that more than half of military spouses who think they are suffering from secondary PTSD symptoms may have been misdiagnosed. According to the article, the study, due for release this fall, found that up to 41% of the 190 spouses surveyed had symptoms similar to those linked with secondary PTSD. But when questioned further, only about 15% of respondents indicated that their husbands’ military experience was the sole cause of their stress.
