We compared a random sample of Australian Vietnam veteran inpatients suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (N = 13) with veteran inpatients with other neurotic diagnoses. Those with PTSD had experienced substantially higher levels of combat stress, were more likely to have manifested conduct disorder in childhood, and had poorer work adjustment. Only three had been diagnosed as having traumatic or war neuroses by their original treating psychiatrist in the Veterans Affairs Department. Post traumatic stress disorder (or war neurosis) has possibly been under-diagnosed by treating psychiatrists in the Veterans Affairs Department, especially in the pre-DSM-III era.
我们将一组随机抽取的患有创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的澳大利亚越战退伍军人住院患者（N = 13）与患有其他神经症诊断的退伍军人住院患者进行了比较。患有PTSD的患者经历的战斗压力水平显著更高，童年时期更有可能表现出品行障碍，工作适应能力也更差。最初在退伍军人事务部治疗他们的精神科医生中，只有三人被诊断患有创伤性或战争神经症。创伤后应激障碍（或战争神经症）可能在退伍军人事务部的治疗精神科医生中诊断不足，尤其是在DSM-III之前的时代。
