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.

Not everyone develops it for various reasons - some are just more naturally resilent, others have a good support network. Some people are just more sensitive, emotional, emphathetic. Everyone has a breaking point, but just as everyone has differences in things like how athletic they are, or how fast their metabolisms are, what they find hilariously funny, we all have different threshholds in regards to how our minds respond to trauma.
I don't (personally) really see how that's something to question. Different people = different reactions.
