Troops Are So Stigmatized By PTSD The Military Wants The Disorder’s Name Changed
Eloise Lee | May 7, 2012,
The military hopes to remove stigma associated with PTSD — by replacing “disorder” with the word “injury”— which could encourage troops, and even civilians who suffer from it, to seek treatment instead of bottling it up out of shame.
Greg Jaffe at the Washington Post reports the issue is coming to the forefront because the American Psychiatric Association’s “bible of mental illnesses” — the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders — is being updated for the first time in 12 years.
To put that into context, the events of 9/11 and the start of the Afghan and Iraq wars have all occurred since the manual was last revised. In this recent time span, the term “PTSD” has often cropped up negatively in the public sphere whenever a service member or veteran commits an inexplicable crime, even though the disorder may not be the cause whatsoever. Frustratingly, this leads to PTSD developing an unwarranted bad rap.
All this falls in line with the declaration by Homeland inSecurity about a year or so ago that labeled Veterans as a terrorist group. Hussein and his regime want to ensure that when he refuses to relinquish power, or when he openly abrogates The Constitution, that those sworn to uphold it will be in no position to resist.
