Compared with those PTSD only, individuals with comorbid PTSD-AD had higher rates of lifetime treatment seeking for AD but not for PTSD. Furthermore, individuals with comorbid PTSD-AD had higher rates of lifetime use of outpatient mental health services than the other two groups, and higher rates of lifetime use of psychotropic medication than those with AD only. Rates of lifetime use of inpatient mental health treatment among individuals with PTSD-AD, PTSD only, and AD were similar. The rate of past 12-months treatment-seeking for any Axis I disorders among individuals with comorbid PTSD and AD was higher than those with AD only, but similar to those with PTSD only (Table 4).
