Unrecognized Trauma and PTSD among Public Mental Health Consumers with Chronic and Severe Mental Illness
Abstract
Lifetime prevalence of traumatic events and current PTSD was assessed among 142 mental health consumers with serious mental illness served by a psychosocial rehabilitation day program. Lifetime exposure to trauma was high (87%). The rate of PTSD based on the PTSD Checklist (PCL) was also high (19-30% depending on different scoring criteria). Overall, the PCL had strong internal reliability for this sample. Documentation of trauma and PTSD was exceptionally low in medical records. Results suggest that trauma and PTSD are significantly overlooked in the public mental health system. Improved recognition of trauma and PTSD are needed in order to provide meaningful services to this highly vulnerable population.

“Previous systematic reviews have converged on the general finding that psychological therapies are effective for the treatment of PTSD (Bisson, Roberts, Andrew, Cooper, & Lewis, 2013; Bradley, Greene, Russ, Dutra, & Westen, 2005, Cusack, Grubaugh, Knapp, & Frueh, 2006; Jonas et al., 2013, Watts et al., 2013).”

In the citing paper
“A broad distinction has been made between therapies that focus on the traumatic event and those that aim to reduce traumatic stress symptoms without directly targeting the trauma memory or related thoughts, with the strongest evidence for the effect of those with a trauma-focus (Bisson et al., 2013; Bradley et al., 2005; Cusack et al., 2006; Jonas et al., 2013).”

“Recognizing trauma history in this population is important not only because of the severe psychological consequences, but also because PTSD is one of the costliest mental disorders (Greenberg et al., 1999; Solomon & Davidson, 1997).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
