PTSD is an acronym, so it hides the meaning, restricts the awareness. The name itself kind of sucks too. Horrors of War Syndrome would probably be better.

- hungie 2y agoBut... you can get PTSD from lots of non war scenarios. Rape, abuse, injury and accidents, loss of loved ones, etc.
- shadowgovt 2y agoBut how do you end up with Horrors of War Syndrome after being in a car crash?
- labster 2y agoAgain, that might work fine for veterans, but not for victims of peacetime rape and horrific accidents who have similar symptoms. The syndrome needs a common name, like: he has “the horrors”.
