We used a nationally representative sample of trauma-exposed military veterans (NHRVS) and selected 221 who reported clinically significant DSM-5 PTSD symptoms. We estimated two networks; a DSM-5 PTSD network and a DSM-5 PTSD network with clinically significant covariates. The networks revealed that symptoms were positively connected with especially strong connections emerging between several items. Incorporation of clinically relevant covariates into the PTSD network revealed paths between PTSD’s symptom of self-destructive behavior and suicidal ideation amongst others.
