I have to agree—let’s save the trauma diagnosis for those on the front lines of the disaster—hospital employees, those sick, those with a loved one sick, first responders, front line workers at essential businesses like grocery stores who have to choose between their health and their paycheck, those with no job anymore and facing homelessness or starvation.

I read an article yesterday in which a psychologist noted this doesn’t rise to the diagnostic level of trauma for most people. It doesn’t mean the rest of us aren’t exhausted, or anxious, or afraid, or that we have no right to be any of these things, we do—but I think the trauma diagnosis should be saved for those who merit it.
