A case report of posttraumatic stress disorder at the end of life

verfasst von: Dr. Tabea Riss

Erschienen in: Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift | Ausgabe 7-8/2022

Summary

A case of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the last days of life is presented. It shows insufficient pharmacological therapy and PTSD that was not recognized early enough. We discuss the dilemma caused by the necessity of a long-term psychotherapy and the challenge of little time being left at the end of life. Additionally, a language barrier can be a main reason for misinterpreting symptoms of PTSD.
