Sažetak
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a diganosis difficult to make with certainity. Because of its complicated differential diagnosis and fact that PTSD is diagnosed 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 diganostic problem is more sensitive. The valid psychiatric assessment of PTSD demands detailed review of patient's previous medical and social documentation, evaluation of the patient(anamnesis, structured clinical interview, observation, psychological assessment) and diagnostic classification. Besides PTSD in an isolated form, there is overlapping of comorbid symptoms in PTSD with other psychiatric disturbances that can also be malingered.
