  • The attacks were followed by the imminent threat of subsequent attacks, the prospect of war, and bioterrorism. These events have influenced and will continue to influence the clinical presentation of patients seeking health care services, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) will develop in a substantial number of people. On the basis of data obtained after the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, which was previously the deadliest act of terrorism in America, one could predict PTSD will develop in approximately 35 percent of those who were directly exposed to the September 11 attacks.
  • In addition, many persons with prior exposure to traumatic events may have a recrudescence of PTSD symptoms triggered by news of catastrophic events and their distressing effects. Since traumatized persons with PTSD are far more likely to visit primary care physicians for their symptoms than mental health professionals, primary care practitioners will play an important part in identifying and treating this disorder.
