ABSTRACT
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is unique among psychiatric disorders as, per definition, the trigger is known; the critical event is part of the core diagnosis. Because there is an external event, in many cases PTSD is linked to compensation; for example, in case of car accidents compensation is sought from the insurance company, while in other cases (such as war-related PTSD) the address is the Ministry of Defense, and so on.
