TI  - Two studies of psychiatric morbidity among motor vehicle accident survivors 1 
      year after the crash.
PG  - 569-83
AB  - We assessed the psychiatric co-morbidity associated with chronic posttraumatic 
      stress disorder (PTSD) (1-2 years) secondary to personal injury motor vehicle 
      accidents (MVAs) in two studies. In Study 1, we compared the results of SCID 
      assessments for 75 treatment-seeking MVA survivors (51 with PTSD and 24 with 
      symptoms but no PTSD). In Study 2, we compared similar results among 132 MVA 
      survivors who had been followed prospectively for 12+ months after their 
      accidents (19 with PTSD, 32 who had PTSD but who had remitted, and 81 who never 
      met criteria for PTSD). We found comparable levels of current co-morbid major 
      depression (53%), any mood disorder (62-68%), generalized anxiety disorder (26%) 
      and any anxiety disorder (42%) for both groups of participants with chronic PTSD. 
      These rates of co-morbidity were higher than those found in non-PTSD comparison 
      groups with similar MVA histories.
