Abstract
This article reviews a series of studies conducted on Israeli war veterans that assessed the interrelationship of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and comorbid disorder, focusing on five issues in particular: (1) the frequency of comorbidity among veterans diagnosed with PTSD; (2) how this comorbidity can be accounted for; (3) whether PTSDs with and without comorbidity are different; (4) the validity of PTSD as a distinct diagnosis; and (5) the clinical implications of comorbidity of PTSD.
