Post Traumatic Stress Disorder(hereafter referred to as "PTSD") is the concept of human psychology, and PTSD has legal characters to admit the damage claim or pay compensation for the entitled persons. However, there are a number of problems that should be solved in terms of vague diagnosis criteria of PTSD or difference between medical judgement and legal judgement on PTSD. The issues including healing time, fix time of symptom, trauma grades, loss of manpower and minor deduction problems would be solved clearly in case PTSD is admitted through solving the problems mentioned above, and there would be still difficult problems including traumatic neurosis which are not included in PTSD. In addition, it would be also necessary to research on PTSD, collateral damages, and furthermore, Sub-Syndromal PTSD. The compensation would be paid fairy and reasonably only if these difficult problems belonging to the field of psychiatry were made clear. Finally, I suppose that there should be in-depth studies in collaboration between law and medicine for dealing with the problems.
