How does one tell if someone faking PTSD? What are some things signs to look for and be aware of?

First and foremost, before you decide to out someone for faking PTSD know the whole story. Research it, just don't jump to a conclusion. PTSD can come from more than just combat. do not assume to be the one who knows all about it. If you don't have a PHD in Psychology or an MD in Psychiatric Medicine, don't assume to know all on the subject. Let those who work in those fields know why you think what you think, but don't try and out the person. I suspect the person may have more than PTSD, and needs some form of attention.

Yeah...good luck with that.

TSgt Ronald ForbackFrom a medical Perspective there’s no way you can.I took a four day test had Absolutely no clue what it was for but I did know that when I was putting a basic part of the puzzle togeather I was on a timer and was in barest that I could not figure it out so I thought this young pretty intern could give me the answer so I asked her and was denied.My issues were caused by my TBI.Long story short,a human does not score you it’s a computer and when I read the full report I noticed things I never said that came out on the test were very Accurate.It’s called the Minnesota fake PTSD test.

Now if you root for them to is 1 billion or someone claiming to be in the war in the Invasion of Fallujah for an example.They would know the street and camp they stayed at.If it’s a civilian I have no idea because I was told by my doctor that some people claim to have PTSD by watching the news when the planes hit the towers a 911. But we all know Admitting to having PTSD ia sign weakness. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with PTSD/ TBI and I Isolated myself for year didn’t want to be around anybody pushed everyone in my life away for me in until this day I can’t be in crowdeds I Shope for food at 03:00 and I combat ship out inn10 mintes.I finally realized that when I went outside I was always Aware of my surroundings and until this day,I get spooked when people come from behind me.Thats why I have a service dog named Battle and he has helped by always watching my 6 and I can keep the task at hand and complete without having racing thoughts in my head.I don’t talk about mytime in country or my PTSD.I have noticed when people make their life about PTSD and not trying to better them self and learn to work around it is when I see Red Flags. Haste having PTSD it’s like another person in my life that loves it when I’m down nd the only one that can pick myself up is me. Survivor guilt is another issue I deal with daily along with the trimmers.I was put on Props zing I know it’s spelled wrong but it lowers your blood pressure to help stop the nite trimmers it’s wedding but I just don’t take it so I don’t know if it’s true or not.
