Description
PTSD's Stigmas Lead to Misdiagnosis, Underdiagnosis
It has been noted in the literature that Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is often misdiagnosed and underdiagnosed. This could be due to the everlasting stigmas that are attached to the diagnosis of PTSD, as well as the lack of understanding of the complex symptomatology. If our clients are misdiagnosed, they will never heal. The diagnosis of PTSD has evolved since its incarnation into the DSM III® in the 1980s. The DSM-5® reflects significant changes to the diagnostic criteria.
This webinar assists the clinical professional in understanding how the PTSD diagnosis has evolved, explores possible reasons that clinicians have hesitated to use it as a primary diagnosis, and will help the clinician to understand and properly identify the multifarious symptoms. Clear direction on assessment of PTSD, asking the right questions, and understanding how the symptoms may manifest will be discussed in this webinar. In addition, Ms. Spizzirri will deliver a backdrop for understanding the DSM-5® updates by reviewing the newest research on PTSD and trauma exposure.
