Question : 1 / 258

Which statement most accurately describes the association between limb amputation and psychiatric comorbidity?

Residual neuropathic limb pain is highly associated with posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and catastrophizing.
The mechanism of amputation does not affect the prevalence of later posttraumatic stress disorder.
More distal surgical limb amputations are associated with higher rates of depression and anxiety.
Injured soldiers are most likely to seek help for symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder in the first 6 months after injury.
Rates of depression increase after the first year following an upper limb amputation.

If limb neuropathic pain persists after amputation, there is high risk of cormobid PTSD and/ or depression. Unplanned or traumatic amputations are associated with higher risk of PTSD and more proximal, or above the knee amputations, are highly correlated with depression post-operatively. Most military personnel with PTSD symptoms are likely to delay seeking treatment.
