Abstract

This article presents the definition and nature of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Psychotic Depression as its co-morbidity, and consequences of untreated cases and also presents the models of treatment and psychological mechanisms of coping. In case report is presented a male patient 38 y/o and detailed history of his diseases. Based on International Classification of Diseases 10-th version (ICD-10), Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) arises as a delayed or protracted response to a stressful event or situation of an exceptionally threatening or catastrophic nature, which is likely to cause pervasive distress in almost anyone. Military personnel are among the most at-risk populations for exposure to traumatic events and the development of PTSD. As in our presented case, untreated victims may develop additional serious medical and psychological complications in the aftermath of traumatic events. Those complications may evolve from PTSD, be co-morbid with PTSD, or exist by themselves. In our presented case, untreated PTSD has resulted with disability, medical and legal expense, disorganization in family and social environment and intense psychological distress. The toll in human suffering is enormous and unacceptable
