However, for any strategy based on screenings like this to be successful and effective, we also highlight the importance for future screening tools to be designed to detect and minimize strategic responding — that is personnel adapting their answers if they know that their career progression and chance of deployment may depend on their screening scores. Strategic responding may undermine the effectiveness of a screening tool in identifying the risk for mental health disorders.

BMC Psychology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers manuscripts on all aspects of psychology, human behavior and the mind, including developmental, clinical, cognitive, experimental, health and social psychology, as well as personality and individual differences.
The Ruth Moore Act of currently before Congress would make it much easier to obtain benefits by requiring only a statement from the survivor of the sexual violence that it had occurred and eliminating the need for corroborating evidence.
If the Ruth Moore Act is implemented, survivors of MST will need only submit a "stressor statement" about the sexual harassment or assault to establish that the violations occurred. This will make the benefits adjudication process for post-traumatic stress disorder due to MST the same as the process for all other PTSD disability claims. If your post-traumatic stress disorder is very severe, you may wish to seek to be discharged from the military on the basis of a PTSD disability.
You cannot apply for such a discharge; instead it must be recommended by a military doctor. Your doctor might recommend a disability discharge if your psychological symptoms substantially impair your ability to serve.

PTSD Treatment and Your Career A diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder is unlikely, alone, to bring an end to your military career. While there has been a significant stigma in the military against admitting to PTSD, that stigma is lessening.
More and more active duty members of the military are becoming aware of their right not to be penalized for behavior that stems from the stress of their combat and other active duty service. Think of what it will mean to you and your family later on to receive VA compensation and educational benefits, among others. Talk to a Lawyer Need a lawyer?

Pre-deployment self-reported information including differences in stress symptoms, sleep problems, anxiety, and depressive symptoms are predictors that are low cost, easily ascertained, and indicate modifiable factors.
The biological, clinical, and neurocognitive assessment of military personnel before deployment raises the possibility of predicting post-deployment PTSD risk to inform future research on risk factors and to inform the planning of targeted prevention of deployment-related PTSD. Our modeling approach acknowledges the complex nature of current theories of PTSD [ 72 ] spanning from various molecular e. This approach is promising for future work on individualized risk prediction and prevention.
