Military Claims
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often strikes members of the Armed Forces, due to their traumatic experiences both in combat and on exercise. PTSD and other similar disorders often have very significant adverse mental and physical impacts on the sufferer, their lives and careers and those of their loved ones.
Often many years can pass after a traumatic experience before a member of the forces can suffer or be diagnosed with PTSD, or other psychological or psychiatric disorders.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder resulting from exposure to traumatic, stressful, frightening or distressing events. The condition was first recognised in war veterans and was previously known as ‘shell shock’.
Symptoms and consequences typically include some or all of the following:
