Is It A Full Moon For Stupid Ptsd Diagnoses?

[anthony]

In the past 48hrs I've read:

1. Diagnosed with PTSD due to spouse cheating on me,
2. Diagnosed with PTSD due to husband leaving me,
3. Diagnosed with PTSD due to feces falling on me, and I'm suing the airport because I can't work or have sex,
4. Diagnosed with PTSD due to being given the wrong medication.

OMFG... really people? How hard is it to get through you head, no doubt all these things may be traumatic in some way to the people, though when do any of them relate beyond some anxiety, depression maybe? When do any of these things come close to being raped, tortured, fighting for your life through a tornado, going to war, and the list goes on.

Either the people are morons, the physicians are morons, OR, both!

I wish we had medically proven research link for #1 you mentioned. Remember we discussed about that one in myth thread? I am saying this because if we have some solid proof then we can prevent the people from wasting their time in the least. Man, this says it's very hard to find the truth or discern the truth.

If someone comes on the forums and says their spouse cheated on them due to PTSD, we could tell them the truth via link and save others time including them.

#2 and #3 sounds like they are being funny. If a spouse leaves, at most they will have heartache. Not the PTSD.

#4 No idea, the psych must have lost their mind.

#3 is the funniest, hahaha :roflmao:

Do you mean to counter it? If so, we already do:

A. Exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence in one (or more) of the following ways:

1. Directly experiencing the traumatic event(s),
2. Witnessing, in person, the event(s) as it occurred to others,
3. Learning that the traumatic event(s) occurred to a close family member or close friend. In cases of actual or threatened death of a family member or friend, the event(s) must have been violent and accidental.
4. Experiencing repeated or extreme exposure to aversive details of the traumatic event(s) (e.g., first responders collecting human remains; police officers repeatedly exposed to details of child abuse).

Being cheated on by your spouse does not meet criterion A, being a threat to life or sexual violence. A spouse cheating on another, consensually, is not sexual violence.

Here is the current diagnosis for PTSD: Link Removed

@anthony Yes, that's what I meant. Counter it.

This means people don't even try to educate themselves after getting a diagnosis. I think person should try to understand what they are given as diagnosis in the least. Not just accept blindly. For safety.

 

[anthony]

Many who get a diagnosis for such thing, are given them by backyard type therapists, often they can't even diagnose, or shouldn't diagnose mental health, such as nurses, GP's and such. Then you have the hippie type therapists who don't believe in any boundaries, yet will use the labels, by placing people into labels regardless of any actual criterion.

@anthony I can't like that. It is darn scary. I wonder who gave mental health service license to such bad therapists?

Hi @anthony, yep it was full moon on Monday the 4th. - And one could really see, that it produced quite funny stories... It has become quite entertaining by now. :wacky::hilarious:

. Brock’s doctor says that she suffers from the worst case of PTSD she has ever seen.

From inquisitr.com

I bet her "doctor" is a urologist! (Pun intended). Yep, a urologist! Those docs rarely if ever see ptsd and most definitely aren't qualified to hand out a diagnosis.

But really? The WORST case? This woman is shameful, her doctor, too. Give her REAL PTSD for ONE day and she'll be praying to every God possibly in existence to not only have it taken away but to be forgiven for her deplorable behavior.

 

[moonbeam]

I wonder how many of these are self-diagnosed?

 

[anonymous]

Whoa. Didn't see this one coming. First time I've ever googled "PTSD from" so the Twitter bit isn't there because of my own search history.

Well, now I can't get this image out of my mind... #3 but a pile so huge that the person almost dies under it and they need to use avalanche rescue techniques...?
