Co-occurance of PTSD, Anxiety and Depression

Comorbidity of posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression: A 20-year longitudinal study of war veterans. 09/22/09. Almost one half of war veterans would endorse a lifetime triple comorbidity, and those who do, are likely to have more impaired functioning. The findings support the perspective that views PTSD as the dominant disorder following traumatic events, which impels the development of comorbid anxiety and depression.
