Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
These measures are designed to help reduce PTSD symptoms. Anger should be expressed and accepted. Patients with PTSD should learn that their feelings are commonly experienced by others with the same disorder. Recounting the traumatic event helps patients integrate the feelings of distress, so limiting such behavior is not therapeutic.

Answer to Question 2

A
Many soldiers and veterans fight the symptoms of mental illness associated with combat. They fear appearing weak or inadequate. These phenomena contribute to the stigma associated with war-related psychiatric illnesses.
