A quarter of college students could develop PTSD because of the 2016 election, a new study suggests
It's no wonder trades and such are having such a hard time finding people worth hiring...
Damn, our society is doomed.
Articles with click bait titles on unverified studies has been a problem in diet and fitness since the beginning of time, but it's really becoming a problem in other areas. This is a perfect example.
I've seen people who have very minor "events" happen and are diagnosed with PTSD. It's insulting to people who have gone thru actual traumatic events.
it's Psuedo Traumatic Stress Disorder... I think they should come up with a name that doesn't have the same acronym so they're not confused so easily.
Well in reference to college students, it can simply be referred to as having a dose of reality.Quote:

College crybabies can have PTSD and I really don't care what percentage of them self-diagnose.

What a bunch of pussies
Don't forget that a lot of this is spawned by the so-called mental health industry. There are some good psychiatrists and psychologists who really help people who genuinely need it ... and there are a whole bunch of charlatans who need help more than their patients, who create false diagnoses and false "syndromes" (and false "memories").
I still like combat Fatigue. Simple and we all know what you mean.Quote:

I start off not realizing that I?m even in that mindset, and over the course of weeks my drive to fix what?s wrong is taxed by sleep loss, constantly being in a heightened state of fight or flight, and knowing that something just isn?t right.
I do feel guilt bringing this stuff up with my therapist, there?s plenty of people who have been through much worse than me, but that doesn?t diminish the reality of my situation or the work that I need to keep up with.
That sounds more like Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) (I am not a doctor, but recognize what you're talking about). I was diagnosed with it when my first wife came home from surgery with a surprise tracheostomy. I wasn't sleeping due to worry about her airway becoming obstructed and requiring regular sterile cleaning. I eventually ended up with physical symptoms - felt like my heart was pounding in my chest and I couldn't catch my breath. Xanax worked wonders for me and I was able to focus, prioritize, and feel 'normal' again. Eventually I learned how to recognize what was going on and control it without meds.

It's not really a 'constant worry'. I would be in a state of 'this isn't right', or 'I'm missing something that I should be paying attention to'. You just can't quite put your finger on it. Making decisions was kinda' fuzzy, like I was mentally clouded. Then I'd usually recognize I wasn't breathing normally, kind of holding my breath in. Crazy stuff.
Include in your mental health industry the government. There are programs that start with the legislature that spread to involve thousands of people spread throughout all the government divisions. They make many people even more dependent on the government.Quote:
