Essay on PTSD in Veterans

Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) provides the standard tool that I would use to assess the severity of the PTSD in the patient (Reisman, 2018). The assessment of the severity of the PTSD is important in directing the treatment needs and other management needs for the veterans with PTSD. It is hence imperative to provide correct and accurate diagnosis as well as severity to guide the management. The second intervention/plan for the veteran is the assessment of comorbidity occurring with PTSD. Comorbidities in PTSD complicate the management as well as the plan of care for the patient.
