ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To provide German data regarding prevalence and treatment (pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy) for individuals with PTSD.METHODS:
Based on BARMER health insurance data, the administrative prevalence of PTSD (ICD-10 F43.1), psychiatric comorbidity, psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy were estimated. Additionally, prevalence trends for years 2008 vs. 2017 were computed.RESULTS:
In 2017, the overall PTSD prevalence was 0.7â% (females 0.9â%, males 0.4â%), whereas in 2008 it was 0.3â%. 74.4â% of all PTSD cases received psychotherapy, 43.6â% were prescribed an antidepressant (first choice venlafaxine), and 14.4â% were prescribed an antipsychotic (first choice quetiapine).CONCLUSION:
Within the studied period, the administrative prevalence of PTSD has more than doubled. Still, the prevalence rate found in our study is lower than figures from epidemiological studies, thus indicating room for improvement in diagnosing PTSD.
