re: Which War Would Result In The Most Severe PTSD For Soldiers?

quote:

---

That the root cause of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is combat? Likely because it isn't. There is combat induced ptsd. But to suggest that the traumatic, stressful situations that soldiers can be put in that are not related to combat aren't, or can't be the cause of ptsd is ignorance. Police, firemen, nurses, doctors, etc, etc, can all suffer from ptsd, and none of it is combat related.

no one has denied that other people can have ptsd ... is this where the laughing emoticon goes? ... " " ... does that make one feel superior? ...


it would have to be wwi because of the constant shelling from trench warfare and the enormous loss of life over 4 years ...
