PTSD is typically diagnosed through a clinical interview where a mental health professional assesses an individual's symptoms, history of trauma exposure, and the impact of those symptoms on everyday life. The diagnosis follows criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) which includes symptoms such as intrusive memories, avoidance, negative changes in mood and cognition, and arousal/reactivity.

What causes serum lipase to increase in pancreatitis?
Acute pancreatitis: Destruction of pancreatic acinar tissue results in the escape of pancreatic enzymes into the pancreas and peritoneal cavity. The enzymes enter the blood by way of lymphatics or capillaries with subsequent elevation of serum levels. Increases of at least 2 x normal are seen in pancreatitis. In dogs, lipase increases within 24 hours and peaks (at a higher level than amylase) at 2-5 days. Increases of 3 times normal support a diagnosis of pancreatitis more strongly than more moderate increases, which may be accounted for by non-pancreatic causes. Lipase may be normal in up to 28% of dogs with pancreatitis. In the cat, lipase is not consistently elevated in pancreatitis. It was hoped that measurement of trypsin-like immunoreactivity (TLI) would be better for diagnosis in cats, as high values are seen in dogs with pancreatitis and are very useful for diagnosis in dogs with normal lipase values. However, recent data suggests that TLI values are not consistently increased in cats with confirmed pancreatitis, limiting the usefulness of this test to cats with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. I got this from this page: http://diaglab.vet.cornell.edu/clinpath/modules/chem/lipase.htm

Can you have pancreatitis from menstruation?
You cannot get pancreatitis from menstruation. Pancreatitis is literally an inflammation of the pancreas, the organ that produces the body's insulin and secretes digestive enzymes to break down the proteins in the stomach.Alcohol abuse and gallstones are the two main causes of pancreatitis, accounting for 80%-90% of all cases. Pancreatitis from alcohol use usually occurs in patients who have been long-term alcohol drinkers for at least five to seven years. Most cases of chronic pancreatitis are due to alcohol abuse. Pancreatitis is often already chronic by the first time the person seeks medical attention (usually for severe pain).Gallstones form from a buildup of material within the gallbladder, another organ in the abdomen (please see previous illustration). A gallstone can block the pancreatic duct, trapping digestive juices inside the pancreas. Pancreatitis due to gallstones tends to occur most often in women older than 50 years of age.The remaining 10%-20% of cases of pancreatitis have various causes, including the following:medications,exposure to certain chemicals,injury (trauma), as might happen in a car accident or bad fall leading to abdominal trauma,hereditary disease,surgery and certain medical procedures,infections such as mumps (not common),abnormalities of the pancreas or intestine, orhigh fat levels in the blood
