Sažetak
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a difficult diagnosis to make with certanity. Because of its complicated differential diagnosis and the fact that PTSD's diagnosis is based largely on symptoms that are reported by the patient, PTSD is not hard to malinger. In the cases of compensation-related purposes such as forensic evaluations, the diagnostic problem is more sensitive. A valid psychiatric assessment of PTSD demands detailed review of the patient's previous medical, social and combat documentation, evaluation of the patient (anamnesis, structured clinical interview, observation, psychological assessment) and diagnostic classification. besides postr-traumatic stress disorder in isolated form, there is an overlapping of comorbid symptoms in PTSD with other psychiatric disturbances that can also be malingered.
