The placement of the diagnostic category of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among anxiety disorders reflects the recognition that anxiety is a predominant reaction to trauma. Indeed, the symptoms of PTSD overlap considerably with those of other anxiety disorders. The nosological criteria render PTSD as quite a heterogeneous diagnosis. Two individuals with no common symptoms can be diagnosed as having PTSD. In this report we provide information on the phenomenology and psychiatric comorbidity in a sample of 33 patients with combat-related PTSD. The finding of clinical heterogeneity in subjects with combat-related PTSD and the therapy implications are discussed.
