Abstract

Of all PTSD symptoms, emotional numbing (EN) is associated with the greatest functional impairment. We examined veteran data to address limitations of prior research, such as the prior lack of PTSD assessment using DSM-5. We found that EN and arousal symptoms were the most consistent predictors across domains of impairment.
