Denied
The Board denied service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and an acquired psychiatric disorder, including anxiety, adjustment disorder, and depressed mood, as there was no current diagnosis of PTSD and the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder did not manifest during or within one year after active duty.
The deciding factor: The lack of a current diagnosis of PTSD and evidence that the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder is related to his active-duty service were the deciding factors in denying service connection.
