Specific criteria: Must be met to accurately diagnose ptsd. There are specific hallmarks ; behaviors that experts who treat ptsd regularly cue in to. The psychiatrists who do compensation ; pension evaluations for the department of veteran's affairs are experts at diagnosing ptsd. They are also experts at picking up on people who are trying to con the system.

Be honest: Be straigt-forward and honest. If you disagree with their assessment, you are entitled to a second opinion process via the VA. Best wishes to you.

SERVICE OFFICER: Get yourself a service officer from organizations like American Legion, or Disabled American Veterans, or Veterans of Foreign Wars to help you submit claims. NEVER go up against the VA alone. SAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION!!!
