What are the post traumatic symptoms

As opposed to listing DSM-IV (309.8)* symptoms I am providing a link to a patient information sheet. It contains symptoms but also explains diagnostic considerations, the various manifestations and possible treatment interventions.

Patient Info Sheet (http://www.pdhealth.mil/guidelines/downloads/PTSD.pdf)

Another outline containing symptoms is provided by Veterans Affairs at:

US Veterans Administration, PTSD (http://www.ptsd.va.gov/professional/pages/dsm-iv-tr-ptsd.asp)

Not sure how much you are interested in reading but here is an additional article dealing with the diagnostic complexity.

American Journal of Psychiatry (http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx?articleid=102343) Chu (2010)

If this doesn't fully address your needs feel free to ask any other questions in clarification.
