    Posttraumatic stress disorder is often diagnosed with depression, and while PTSD comorbidity is associated with more severe symptoms, the relationships between commonly co-occurring disorders are not well understood. This study reviewed literature on the development of depression comorbid with combat-related PTSD among military personnel, summarizing results of commonly tested hypotheses about the etiology of PTSD and depression comorbidity, including causal, common factor, and potential confounding explanations. Evidence suggests PTSD may causally increase risk for subsequent depression, though associations likely involve bidirectional causality, common risks, and vulnerabilities, emphasized in the context of military deployment and combat exposure.

    Abstract: Posttraumatic stress disorder is often diagnosed with other mental health
    problems, particularly depression. Although PTSD comorbidity has been associated
    with more severe and chronic symptomology, relationships among commonly co-
    occurring disorders are not well understood. The purpose of this study was to
    review the literature regarding the development of depression comorbid with combat-
    related PTSD among military personnel. We summarize results of commonly tested
    hypotheses about the etiology of PTSD and depression comorbidity, including (1)
    causal hypotheses, (2) common factor hypotheses, and (3) potential confounds.
    Evidence suggests that PTSD may be a causal risk factor for subsequent depression;
    however, associations are likely complex, involving bidirectional causality, common
    risk factors, and common vulnerabilities. The unique nature of PTSD–depression
    comorbidity in the context of military deployment and combat exposure is
    emphasized. Implications of our results for clinical practice and future research
    are discussed.
