posttraumatic

[Peter Percival]

Posttraumatic or post traumatic, or maybe even hyphenated? PTSD seems
to be the accepted abbreviation for posttraumatic stress disorder, which
suggeststwo words, but often I see it written as one.

I like the hyphen, but solid seems to be winning, as you say.

Hyphenated for me. I don't even remember seeing it any other way.

When I first heard that expression, I always assumed it meant
post-traumatic-stress disorder, i.e. a disorder that follows
traumatic stress. (And never mind that a lot of people wouldn't
hyphenate it that way.) But these days I often hear it without
the last word, suggesting that it is a disorder that consists
of stress and follows trauma. Is this actually the correct
meaning according to whoever invented the term?

I had similar thoughts. Is it a "disorder that follows traumatic
stress", or is it "a stress disorder that follows trauma"?

It seems to be the latter.
If my understanding of what I've read and quoted below, PTSD might be
better worded as "Post-Trauma Stress Disorder".

There is a condition named "Acute Stress Disorder". According to this
description the diagnosis requires:
http://psychcentral.com/disorders/acute-stress-disorder-symptoms/

<severe anxiety and other symptoms>

In addition, at least one symptom from each of the symptom clusters
required for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

As for the spelling this says:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posttraumatic_stress_disorder#History

Early in 1978, the term was used in a working group finding
presented to the Committee of Reactive Disorders.[180] The condition
was added to the DSM-III, which was being developed in the 1980s, as
posttraumatic stress disorder.[178][180] In the DSM-IV, the spelling
"posttraumatic stress disorder" is used, while in the ICD-10, the
spelling is "post-traumatic stress disorder".[181]

The following section:

Terminology

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders does not
hyphenate 'post' and 'traumatic', thus, the DSM-5 lists the disorder
as posttraumatic stress disorder. However, many scientific journal
articles and other scholarly publications do hyphenate the name of
the disorder, viz., post-traumatic stress disorder.[192]
Dictionaries also differ with regard to the preferred spelling of
the disorder with the Collins English Dictionary - Complete and
Unabridged using the hyphenated spelling, and the American Heritage
Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edition and the Random
House Kernerman Webster's College Dictionary giving the
non-hyphenated spelling.[193]

This outline of PTSD for the general reader says:
http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Post-traumatic-stress-disorder/Pages/Introduction.aspx

Introduction

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder caused
by very stressful, frightening or distressing events.

Someone with PTSD often relives the traumatic event through
nightmares and flashbacks, and may experience feelings of isolation,
irritability and guilt.

The political need in the USA in the 1970s was a medical reason
to treat (at public expense, through the Veterans' Administration)
wounded veterans of the Viet Nam war who remained incapacitated
after their physical wounds had healed. At this date trauma meant
a physical wound.

This recent British specification is quite different. (But we should not
expect diagnoses to remain unchanged after 40 years.)

There is a UK Charity called simply "Combat Stress". It was founded in the
aftermath of WW1, in 1919. One of my uncles suffered badly from being one
of a few survivors of a troop ship which was torpedoed in WW2. Of course,
officers were supposed to "pull themselves together".

There was "shell shock":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_shock

Shell shock is term coined to describe the reaction of some soldiers
in World War I to the trauma of battle.
....
In World War II and thereafter, diagnosis of 'shell shock' was
replaced by that of combat stress reaction, a similar but not
identical response to the trauma of warfare and bombardment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_stress_reaction

Combat stress reaction (CSR) is a term used within the military to
describe acute behavioral disorganization seen by medical personnel
as a direct result of the trauma of war. Also known as "combat
fatigue" or "battle neurosis", it has some overlap with the
diagnosis of acute stress reaction used in civilian psychiatry. It
is historically linked to shell shock and can sometimes precurse
post-traumatic stress disorder.

I blame the lazy Twitterati for the unhyphenated 'post-traumatic' ;-)
