So with the shooting in the D.C. Naval yard the arm chair doctors and the media have already started throwing around the shooters supposed mental problem....PTSD. This is a man who people claim has PTSD due to his being on the island of Manhattan during 9/11.....really?? It can't be from his military service because he never left the U.S. I bet if people actually dig deeper, it will be found out that this man had problems way before 9/11. I write this thread because in situations like this it diminishes the people who really have PTSD and almost classifies them as "lunatics" much like what was done to Vietnam vets.
It also seems that over the last few years the medical definition for PTSD have unjustly added "violence" to its symptoms...nonsense. Anyone who have know people with it they tend to shy away from violence.
This is a near and dear problem to me (family member who is diagnosed with PTSD) and its sad how people who actually have this mental problem (and I actually hate classifying it as such) as my family member with it says "PTSD is just my assh*le detector alerting me to stay away" and he is actually glad to have it.
the FDA receives 32 times more money from pharmaceutical company's than they receive of our tax dollars,So just follow the money, they put people and kids on SSRI's like they are candy, then you have your Prozac and others that are fluoride based, Hitler and his gang used fluoride in the camps to numb the minds of the prisoners to the point of zombie like...

These incidents are not PTSD related..
Agreed. What a crock. I'm a survivor who got out of the WTC--there are 15,000 of us, plus all the first responders and others who were in the neighborhood that day and witnessed chunks of people and jumpers and those who worked at the site scraping human skin off of steel beams. Yes, we all do have some PTSD stuff--floors randomly "move", loud sounds make us jump, nightmares, etc. Some of it was worse right afterward, some will probably always stay with us.
We don't go around shooting people, though. Most of us just go about our lives with these little annoying PTSD sidebars as accompaniment. This guy had other mental issues.
What kind of meds was he on? Has that been reported yet?
