Abstract

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder ( PTSD) is a common psychiatric disorder with complicated symp-toms and prolonged course of disease, seriously damages social function of patients and can cause excessive con-sumption of medical resources. As pathogenic factor of PTSD, moral injury has its special pathogenic mechanism. PTSD with moral injury has more symptoms and poorer prognosis, leading to a higher risk of suicide and more com-plicated treatment. Theoretical research from the perspective of psychology and ethics, etiological and clinical re-search from the perspective of biomedical may provide the solution to PTSD with moral injury.
