Clinical Psychopharmacology Seminar Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Original Author: Vicki Ellingrod, Pharm.D., BCPP Latest Reviser: Mitchell Barnett, PharmD, MS Creation Date: 1996 Last Revision Date: May 2005 Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed INTRODUCTION The treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has received a surge of interest recently with an increasing number of controlled pharmacologic trials. The most common treatments offered to trauma victims include psychotherapy, typically involving either behavioral techniques, cognitive approaches, crisis intervention, or psychodynamically orientated approaches; and group therapy including mutual self-help groups, and family therapy. These approaches have been used on a variety of trauma populations such as victims of combat, terrorism, rape, child abuse, accidents, and disasters. The role of pharmacotherapy in PTSD is more of as adjunctive therapy to alleviate depressive and anxiety symptoms in addition to serving a facilitative effect for psychotherapy. POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER Recent research suggests that patients experiencing forms of trauma such as disaster, rape, or combat all have similar psychopathology (Solomon et al 1992). These patients not only show profiles consistent with PTSD, but often show symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Major Depression, and Substance Abuse. Risk Factors for PTSD include lower socio-economic support, unstable family life, neurological soft signs (nonspecific behavioral indicators), preexisting mood or anxiety disorders, as well as a family history of psychological disorders. (McNally 2003).

Douglas Bremner, M.D. Dr. Bremner is a faculty member of the Departments of Diagnostic Radiology and Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine, Yale Psychiatric Institute, and National Center for PTSD-VA Connecticut Healthcare System. The research reviewed in this article was supported by an NIH-sponsored General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) Clinical Associate Physician (CAP) Award and a VA Research Career Development Award to Dr. Bremner, and the National Center for PTSD Grant. Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is something of an invisible epidemic. The events underlying it are often mysterious and always unpleasant. It is certainly far more widespread than most people realize. For example, a prime cause of PTSD is childhood sexual abuse. About 16% of American women (about 40 million) are sexually abused (including rape, attempted rape, or other form of molestation) before they reach their 18th birthday. Childhood abuse may be the most common cause of PTSD in American women, 10% of whom suffer from PTSD (compared to 5% for men) at some time in their lives
