I used to think PTSD only happened to those in the military and didn't really know what it was,until I was diagnosed and researched it.Turns out I've had it since I was about 3 years old.
I am glad the word is getting out about it not being exclusive to veterans. Our nation as a whole has come a ways in accepting and understanding but we have a looooong way to go!
