I am aware of what PTSD is. Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event — after experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. I just saw on the news about something called “Pre-traumatic stress disorder”, which they said happens to a person when they start to panic over concerns that they might eventually go through “post-traumatic stress disorder”. I think the doctors that came up with this diagnosis are even more screwed up than their patients.
