Hello everyone, I am currently doing my Psychiatry clerkship in school and one of the psychiatrists I am working with wanted me to do a small presentation (for her only) on anything of my choosing. I thought it would be a good opportunity to gather some resources on PTSD, learn more for myself, and also possibly learn what other sufferers might really want their doctor to know (the texts I've gathered give nice definitions but unfortunately don't offer a lot of perspective from sufferers).

So I am wondering if you have any important topics that go beyond book definitions that I should read up on and make sure to include... perhaps what is important to us that doctors tend to gloss over?

I'm not asknig for anything personal unless you want to (its an academic paper, not a case study), just things that might have come up with people that are not typically addressed by the standared criteria. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm sure this person has read all about it so I was just hoping to provide a more unique perspective.
