Disorders of extreme stress (DES), previously referred to as disorders of extreme stress not otherwise specified and/or complex posttraumatic stress disorder, is a proposed diagnosis designed to describe the symptom presentation of those repeatedly exposed to traumatic stressors. Little is known, however, about the applicability of DES to combat veterans. We clinically assessed combat veterans for the presence or absence of DES in order to provide descriptive clinical information about the severity and patterns of endorsement of DES symptoms among combat veterans. Results indicate that DES is relevant to veterans and the implications of these results for both diagnoses and treatment are discussed.
极端应激障碍（DES），以前称为未另行规定的极端应激障碍和/或复杂性创伤后应激障碍，是一个拟议的诊断，旨在描述那些反复暴露于创伤性应激源的人的症状表现。然而，对于DES在退伍军人中的适用性知之甚少。我们对退伍军人进行了临床评估，以确定是否存在DES，以便提供关于退伍军人中DES症状严重程度和认可模式的描述性临床信息。结果表明，DES与退伍军人相关，并讨论了这些结果对诊断和治疗的意义。
