But what happens if your symptoms don't meet the strict criteria for PTSD? In this video, we break down the other mental health conditions that can develop after trauma—such as Adjustment Disorders, Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, and Acute Stress Disorder—and how the VA evaluates and rates them under the general rating formula for mental disorders. What You'll Learn in This Video: Why not every traumatic response meets the diagnostic criteria for PTSD Common alternative diagnoses linked to traumatic service events Disclaimer Liberty Evaluations is an independent psychological evaluation practice. While our evaluators are licensed psychologists, we are not attorneys, accredited claims agents, VA-accredited representatives, or Veteran Service Officers, and we do not provide legal advice or represent veterans before the VA or any government agency in any capacity. The content on this channel is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, medical, or individualized psychological advice. Watching these videos, commenting, or contacting Liberty Evaluations does not establish a doctor-patient or professional relationship, and no such relationship is formed until a formal evaluation engagement is entered into directly with our practice. This channel offers a broad, general overview of the VA mental health claims process and should not be solely relied upon for your VA disability compensation claim. Every veteran’s situation is unique. It is your responsibility to educate yourself on the VA disability compensation process and to conduct your own research. Nothing shared here is a guarantee of service connection, a disability rating, or any specific claim outcome.
