18 Nov Briefly explain the neurobiological basis for PTSD illness

Succinctly, in 1–2 pages, address the following:

• Briefly explain the neurobiological basis for PTSD illness.

• Discuss the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for PTSD and relate these criteria to the symptomology presented in the case study.

• Discuss one other psychotherapy treatment option for the client in this case study. Explain whether your treatment option is considered a “gold standard treatment” from a clinical practice guideline perspective, and why using gold standard, evidence-based treatments from clinical practice guidelines is important for psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners.
