How Do You Explain Ptsd To Others?

[stillstanding2]

Aye! But when you come toe think about it, why should we have to explain to others that we have PTSD, can't they accept us for what we are, how we are.

With all the variety of behaviors, habits and communication styles among society in general, can you tell when another has PTSD? I can't assume that I can.

And unless what an individual does seriously impacts me or another, or unless a person asks for my help, it is probably not my business to ask for an explanation.

I expect the same respect for my privacy.

This is a good question and I am coming to the conclusion that you can no more explain what PTSD is to someone who does not have it, than a bird can explain to a frog what it is like to fly.
