Erstschadenfeststellung bei posttraumatischer Belastungsstörung

Initial assessment of damage in post-traumatic stress disorder Even though the DSM-V classification does not require evidence of an immediate reaction with intense fear or helplessness (A2 criterion) in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it remains essential under insurance law to ensure the damaging psychological impact of the event, the so-called initial impression. This does not necessarily require an outward psychological reaction of the insured person upon experiencing the event.
