IMO, PTSD is the poster child of how things can go terribly wrong when problems are not identified and labeled. I have long contended that, right or wrong, pulling things out of the spiritual, personal realm and into the medical, psychiatric realm is a necessary step to mobilize resources that help people help themselves. Right or wrong, slapping a label on something gets people's attention.

What if the label is part of the problem? What if morals and spiritual/existential/philosophical aspects end up totally ditched and are substituted with pills and "science" based methods... when these cannot deal with the moral/existential/spiritual aspect of the issue? Not addressing that part of the issue can cause quite some damage.

and are were really gonna leave morals out of a problem that involves dealing with life itself?

As venus and others indicated, it is completely normal for soldiers to come home changed after deployment in a war zone. I, too, would be worried if they didn't. YET, they are told that they shouldn't and aren't changed. Again, with the "man up". "it's over now, the past is the past".

well, slapping "disorder" label on it is indeed saying they should not change... that if they were not disordered, they would be able to deal better.

All I care about is improved outcome. Whatever it takes to get there. A comprehensive integration of all modalities of treatment - spiritual, psychological, physiological wow! that would be ideal and we should continue to strive for it.

we are not striving for it now. Purely medical model is pursued.... and outcome? Not so good at all...
Hence it needs to be criticized left and right...

and for those of us here who value professional opinion... there are thankfully professionals who already attack the current system... There isn't a consensus anymore... There are "naysers" within the community as well.
