They (the "mental health community," or whatever they're called) like using the word "disorder" a lot.

I want to take apart the statement, "If it [PTSD] were healthy, more people would get it," to show how unfounded in logic it is;
I think a majority of survivors of Straight do have PTSD (whether they realize it or not), healthy reaction, or not...

That wasn't the statement I was referring to as being illogical; it was the one above, saying that "more people would get it if it were a healthy reaction," when more people DO get it (the premise is skewed.) Whether it is perceived as a healthy reaction or not seems almost moot.. though I agree that PTSD is a healthy (or we could say, natural) reaction to that process.
