Abstract
A Clinical Translation of the Research Article Titled “Antisocial Behavioral Syndromes and Additional Psychiatric Comorbidity in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Among U.S. Adults: Results From Wave 2 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions”
Highlights
Antisocial personality disorders are much more prevalent in persons with PTSD than they are in the general population
Given the high symptom severity and rates of other psychiatric disorders associated with AABS, the authors wanted to determine whether adults with PTSD and AABS had similar numbers and types of psychiatric disorders compared to adults with PTSD and ASPD, or whether they were more similar to adults with PTSD who had no antisocial behavior
ASPD and PTSD are both frequently associated with co-occurring psychiatric disorders and chronic medical conditions which often lead to poor treatment outcomes, no studies to date have examined whether ASPD is associated with the severity of clinical presentation in PTSD, including the rates and patterns of psychiatric comorbidity
Summary

ASPD and PTSD are both frequently associated with co-occurring psychiatric disorders and chronic medical conditions which often lead to poor treatment outcomes, no studies to date have examined whether ASPD is associated with the severity of clinical presentation in PTSD, including the rates and patterns of psychiatric comorbidity.
