would you call it illness if somebody falls and breaks a bone? Broken soul is just the same. Normal reaction/consequence to effed up events.
If PTSD is a normal reaction to effed up events, why is it not everyone develops PTSD when exposed to trauma?

Also though I don't see how considering it a disorder implies 'you should be able to get over it' it more seems to imply....'there is an issue that effects the way your brain works' and studies show PTSD certainly effects how the brain works and not in a good way.
