PTSD involves the individual perceiving a traumatic event as life threatening. PTSD was first identified in Viet Nam Veterans returning from combat. PTSD now is a diagnosis often used for adult and child victims of sexual assault and personal injury. PTSD is often also alleged in the context of civil suits involving discrimination, harassment, and wrongful termination. Dr. McNaught uses psychological testing and thorough review of medical and counseling records, to determine the evidence and extent of PTSD. As a result of her years of clinical experience, Dr. McNaught is well versed in the type and duration of treatment required to treat PTSD victims. Only 25% of individuals exposed to a traumatic event experience prolonged PTSD. Careful evaluation and documentation of symptoms and collateral information must be obtained to determine if the plaintiff is suffering from PTSD. If so, causation must also be determined.
