I am doing a class project on a case study involving a 34 year-old male who was injured by a falling box. Our group is trying to gather information regarding our diagnosis; however, we are seeing signs of TBI, PTSD and Acute Stress Disorder. We are trying to determine if the diagnoses are interrelated by case studies, which I have not yet found. Any thoughts regarding this? Or a research paper that we could review and gather some further information?
Please advise.
Thank you - Tim Gomolak
A 34 year-old male who was injured by a falling box. Depending on how heavy the box was, the most likely is that he got an acute traumatic stress reaction. If the box was very heavy he could have acquired a traumatic brain injury. PTSD comes later.
Thank you. He is now obsessed with watching news on his computer 15 hrs a day and does not leave his house. His sister has to take him to DR appts. Any thoughts of an OCD tie in?

Speculations do not help, only proper examination.
LA DIFERENCIA -ESTANDO RELACIONADOS EL TRASTORNO POR ESTRÉS AGUDO Y EL TEPT- ES EL TIEMPO TRANSCURRIDO CON RESPUESTAS DE ANSIEDAD, ETC. CLÍNICAS DESDE EL MOMENTO DE LA INCIDENCIA O EXPOSICIÓN AL EVENTO ESTRESANTE. P.EJ., EL DSM V ESTABLECE QUE HAN DE PASAR 6 MESES PARA CONSIDERAR TEPT
