Roy R. Reeves
J Am Osteopath Assoc 2007 107:181-189. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

Veterans returning from the Middle East combat theater are likely to consult primary care physicians about general health problems that are symptomatic of--or may conceal--posttraumatic stress disorder. Physicians are encouraged to become better prepared to recognize the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder in their patients and quickly initiate proper treatment or appropriate referral.
