Evaluate not just symptoms but also the social and occupational functioning of patients being treated for PTSD.  |
- Assess ability to function in expected roles at home (e.g., parent), at work (missed days, productivity), and interpersonal relationships (romantic and platonic friendships) by obtaining information from the patient and his or her family or significant others, if possible.
- See table Elements of Follow-up for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.
