Who gets to decide what people "should" feel? Those lines sound just a tiny step above "get over it already".

I am not saying it's not painful. But if they want to change something in the next DSM, how about changing "disorder" to "syndrome" or something more neutral? As it stand it does sound as something "bad" and almost a "crime". I don't know for some reason it ticks me off to simplify emotional hardships as an illness... trauma is sadly part of us, part of our narrative and it does change person even when they get over their anxiety symptoms and all.
