Abstract
An increasing number of service members who have been deployed now suffer from invisible wounds of war including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Some of those veterans' diagnoses were reversed through nothing but a review by a team of psychologists who never personally met or examined the veterans. This paper examines the general attitude towards PTSD at a particular Army medical center, the PTSD diagnostic criteria, and the reasons for diagnosis reversals. And due process and VA administrative procedures are analysed and applied to diagnosis reversals. Lastly, an additional layer of due process for veterans with PTSD is suggested.
