Aggression in combat-related chronic posttraumatic stress disorder comorbid with alcohol dependence
The aim of our study was to investigate aggression behavior level as well as aggression structure in a group of combat experienced soldiers with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with or without comorbid alcohol dependence. Two groups of combat experienced soldiers were interviewed by structured clinical interview based on DSM IV criteria for chronic PTSD (N=40), and with PTSD comorbid with alcohol dependence (N=40). Aggression rating scale A-87 was applied to explore aggression level in these two groups. Combat experienced soldiers with PTSD comorbid with alcohol dependence showed higher level of verbal manifest aggression than combat experienced solders with PTSD only, (54.97 &plusmn ; 8.62 vs. 49.47 &plusmn ; 12.76 ; t=19 ; p<0.05), as well as physically manifest aggression (41.75 &plusmn ; 9.80 vs 35.62 &plusmn ; 10.80 ; t=2.96 ; p<0.05). In total aggression, indirect aggression, physical latent aggression, and verbal latent aggression there is no difference between the two study groups. Comorbid alcohol dependence may have a role in aggression level in combat experienced chronic PTSD, especially in presentation of the aggression.
