?:abstract
  • In a recently published study in this journal that used a population-based sample in the Republic of Ireland (Karatzias et al , 2020), we concluded that 17 7% of the sample met the diagnostic requirements for COVID-19-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Subsequently, Van Overmeire (2020) has raised concerns about the validity of our findings, arguing that simply experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic is not sufficient to meet the trauma exposure criterion for a PTSD diagnosis and, consequently, our estimated PTSD prevalence figure was inflated In this response, we provide (a) an explanation for why the COVID-19 pandemic can be reasonably considered to be a traumatic event, (b) evidence that PTSD in response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a meaningful construct, and (c) an argument for why our estimated prevalence rate is not unreasonably high
