    Objective: To assist healthcare professionals in their management of military personnel and veterans by providing information on the importance of sub-syndromal PTSD. Conclusion: Sub-syndromal PTSD occurs when persons experience many of the symptoms of PTSD, with some impairment, but do not meet full diagnostic criteria. Found to be associated with a range of mental health conditions including alcohol abuse, higher rates of suicidal ideas and delayed-onset PTSD, it should be seen as ‘symptoms that are predictive of later disorder’. Patients with this condition need accurate assessment, trauma-focused therapy and follow-up to address the symptoms and, potentially, prevent development of PTSD.
