MedPage Today (9/21, DePeau-Wilson) reports, “Patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are often treated for symptoms of the condition before ever receiving a formal diagnosis,” investigators concluded in “a retrospective analysis” that “identified 26,306 adult patients in the IBM MarketScan Commercial Subset database who were diagnosed with and treated for PTSD from 2015 to 2020,” and then analyzed “data for each patient in the six months before and the 24 months after diagnosis.” The findings were presented in a poster at the Psych Congress 2022.
