PTSD Case Study
This week we have learned that different people have different reactions to various life circumstances. After reviewing our resources, especially the article on the predictors of PTSD, for your reaction paper write up a case study for Alex. Alex is twenty two years old and is about to be deployed over seas to serve our country. The rest is up to you.
In your Case Study:
Choose a stance; either Alex winds up with PTSD from the experience or Alex does not.
Be sure to include background information about Alex (from both before deployment and after returning home) that suggests why Alex is likely to either avoid or succumb to this disorder.
Your case study should be 2-3 pages in length and will be graded on how well the information provided adheres to the different risk and resilience factors detailed in this week’s readings and resources.
