I'm not sure what's on your mind today Sky. What's up?

According to what I know, Post Traumatic Stress DISORDER is considered a Psychiatric Disorder. As you know, a disorder is NOT the same thing as an illness, or a disease.

A disorder is just a list of symptoms. If we have a bunch of those symptoms....they give us that diagnosis. Same thing goes for Major Depressive Disorder, Bi-Polar Disorder, etc.

You know all this....so what's up? Feel frustrated with the term mental illness? Yeah, I probably use it too much. I think it's a habit for a lot of people.

Take care. emmy
