Re: The importance of Combat related Trauma and Psychosis.
Email Mark Agius, et al.
Scott et al [2007] have very appropriately brought to our attention the relationship between Trauma exposure and psychotic illness. In the UK literature, much attention has been paid to one particular form of trauma in relation to psychosis; that of child sexual abuse or rape. Scott has however rightly pointed out that other forms of trauma can have similar effects. We would like to draw attention to the effect of another form of trauma, alas all too common due to mans inhumanity to man- that of combat related trauma. Some of us first reported on co-morbid PTSD and psychotic symptoms during the wars in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.[Ivezic 2000] . Indeed, the Croatian Hospital Discharges Database [Hrabak-Zerjavic 2005] demonstrated increase of hospitalisations of PTSD and the psychiatric observations have shown a significant proportion of psychotic symptoms in patients with PTSD after the war in Croatia [Mimica 2005].
Others of us have reported on the utility of atypical anti-psychotics for the treatment of such patients. [Kozaric-Kovacic 2006]. Those of us who work in the UK can bear witness to the difficulty of treating patients with co-morbid Psychosis and PTSD who have come to the UK as refugees from the wars in the Balkans. Much more needs to be established regarding this form of mental illness, including which are the groups of subjects who are most vulnerable to developing a combination of PTSD and Psychosis. We would suggest that the possibility of an developing psychotic illness should be born in mind in the case of those who return to their homes after taking part in present conflict suffering from PTSD symptoms.
