    Default PTSD: The next ADD in terms of over diagnosis...

    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...

    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.

    How about creating V-PTSD for vets so we know which orgs/causes to support? No DD-214? No V-PTSD.

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

    To their credit, the NSA is the only agency of government that listens to the American people.
