750 words (approx. 3 pages) | 6 sources | MLA | 2004


Paper Summary:

This paper explains that, in laymen's terms, PTSD is withdrawing from society and reliving an extremely traumatic situation, such as a robbery or 9/11. The author points out that victims of PTSD may not even realize that they are ill. The paper relates that, although PTSD does not require everyone to be treated, we all should be aware of the disorder and the ways to cope with it.

From the Paper:

"PTSD is not just a label to those veterans who had a hard time with war. This truly ugly disorder affects many people, maybe you or someone you know. Unfortunately, for years it has been misdiagnosed and classified incorrectly. According to the National Institute of Mental Health consistent and reoccurring complaints of headaches, gastrointestinal, dizziness or even chest pain are commonly overlooked and results of PTSD. However, the majority of the time PTSD is misdiagnosed as an Acute Stress Disorder."
