If it's a 'disability' then why aren't those that are diagnosed with it automatically approved for disability benefits when they apply?It's because it's a disorder,with varying degrees of symptoms and problems for each person that has it,just being diagnosed with it doesn't make it a disability.

There's a big difference in a disorder and a disability.Some people with PTSD(or cPTSD) do become disabled from it,unable to function,unable to work while others have or do find ways to manage their condition and are able to be high functioning and work a job.Each person is different.

I was told after quite a few years of therapy that I still have constant,chronic PTSD(cPTSD),but I don't consider myself disabled,I have learned to live with my disorder and constantly work to manage my symptoms.I am not considered disabled by any MH professionals,I have an illness that I will always have.No different than any other illness,such as high blood pressure or diabetes that can be managed but not cured.

I'm sorry if you have been disabled by PTSD,not everyone is though.
