Didnt you require your students to cite their sources, Werewoman?

It's fascinating to me that panic and anxiety are two distinct things, both of which are distinct from ptad.

From an emergency medicine perspective the importance of the distinction should be obvious. People eith ptad may have had to fight and may be triggered into fighting defensively against rescuers. I do not experience anxiety or panic during a "ptsd episode". I experience an adrenaline high and an opiate numb. It's a state nature designed for fighting longand hard without feeling pain and without overthinking. Emergency workers who have rescued injured peoplwle with ptad can tell you its not at all like talking down an hysterical emotionally fragile person. It's way different. My English professors would be appalled by my thumb typing but approve my insistence that words are to be chosen carefully. So would the nurse who heard me say "ptsd" but whose experience misinformed her nonmilitary females who say ptsd don't really have real ptsd. It's *******ed embarrassing to disclose ptsd and hear later, "omg you really do have ptsd ". I said I did. But fuzzy semantics caused It to mean something silly.
