- Posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms may cause greater relationship distress. Although women represent a growing proportion in the military, research regarding how posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects female Veterans and their male partners is scarce. This study examined gender differences in relationship distress between male and female Veterans of the Vietnam War. Results suggest that PTSD symptoms are associated with relationship distress for both male and female Veterans.
