MyPTSD Pro
I came across this article in British media today and frankly, having read it, I feel as if PTSD is becoming a "fashionable" label.
Unless I've grossly misread something (please correct me if I have), this parliament worker has "only" suffered being shouted at and undermined. It states that there are other reports from females of being pressed up against walls, sexually harassed etc, but this woman has not suffered a criterion A trauma directly. She's been mistreated at work no doubt, but PTSD? It doesn't actually go as far as saying that she's been diagnosed with PTSD, just that commons authorities were told that she is a sufferer. There's no evidence to back that up and no direct commentary from the lady herself.
Workplace bullying is vile but I honestly think that PTSD has become a buzz-word, used for effect and it is being over used and inserted into articles far too readily. To the point that the seriousness of the condition and how it affects sufferers is being seriously undermined.
Thoughts?
