Posttraumatic stress disorder in older adults: A Conceptual Review


This review indicates that PTSD does occur in older adults with similar symptoms as noted in younger
adults
Interestingly, some salient differences in PTSD have been documented in older adults, such as differences in
the natural course of the disorder, suggesting that the expression of PTSD may be influenced by factors
such as natural changes brought about by aging, the societal zeitgeist at the time of trauma, and the
presence (or absence) of diagnostic comorbidity


DEFINITION: Posttraumatic stress disorder is initiated by exposure to extraordinarily stressful life events,
such as military combat, violent personal assault, being taken hostage, natural or manmade disasters, and
severe car accidents.

WHAT ARE THE UNIQUE SYMPTOMS OF POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER IN OLDER ADULTS?


most older adults who were traumatized earlier in their life report an episodic course, with symptom
exacerbations and remissions over time
Suggesting that time of study is likely to impact the presentation of symptoms.
Additionally, symptoms such as sleep disturbance and memory impairment are seen more commonly in
older adults in general and may not be associated with trauma exposure per se
Studies examining PTSD symptoms in individuals traumatized later in life show that older adults may
experience somewhat different symptoms than those reported by younger adults after trauma exposure.


CAN POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER BEGIN MANY YEARS AFTER TRAUMA EXPOSURE IN OLDER
ADULTS?


Delayed-onset PTSD is an infrequently diagnosed variant of the disorder, despite its recognition in each
version of the DSM
Several theories have been suggested to account for delayed-onset PTSD in later life. These include
consideration of the fact that older adults may experience a reduction in physical and mental resilience
over time, which reduces their capacity to ward off trauma-related memories and feelings (Aarts & Op Den
