Where does PTSD begin and end? Was this person predisposed to other mental illnesses before their trauma? Their illustrations seem to indicate a level of depression and/or compulsive behavior that may not necessarily been caused by their trauma. I am curious whether the popular portrayal of PTSD as an all consuming life ruining problem is counterproductive in terms of how society views and treats victims. Wouldn't it be much more positive to say "PTSD is real, but it doesn't have to define you, here are some resources that can help".
