Under-diagnosis and under-treatment of post traumatic stress disorder amongst major trauma patients

Key Points

Under-treatment of PTSD remains a critical issue among patients with major trauma, impacting their recovery.
Only a fraction of individuals with PTSD receive necessary assessment and treatment after experiencing trauma.
Assessment of PTSD was inadequate in numerous instances following major trauma incidents, showing systemic gaps.
This finding supports the need for improved identification and support systems to address PTSD effectively.

Abstract

Many people who develop PTSD following trauma fail to receive appropriate assessment, diagnosis or treatment. Further work is needed to ensure adequate systems are in place to allow identification and treatment of patients who develop PTSD following a major trauma.
