Ptsd and pakistan.

[Star Gazer]

Dear friends USA recognizes PTSD as a psychiatric illness and people of the country are very sympathetic and understand the nature of the disease. Even the most vicious media can not refute the evidence and the pain that is caused by this disease.
The reason for this disease is the exposure or experience to life threatening situations and those my friends are present every day in Pakistan especially where the uS is targetting an killing innocent citizens and calls it collateral damage.
I implore and beg the Psychiatric community of Pakistan to visit these areas and collect evidence for PTSD and post it statistically over the internet and write papers about it in journals and magazines and talk about it on the TV and radio, to let the world know that we are suffering at the hands of the friends.
It does not take much resources to diagnose it, no Lab test or x-rays, just talk to the patient, yes it needs psychiatrists or trained mental health workers.

If any one on this forum has access to powers that be, in TV, Radio, Magazines, Newspapers or the political parties please bring this to their knowledge and this can put a lot of good pressure in our favor on the enemy and the foolish friends.

PTSD stands for: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) At a Glance


Causes of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Virtually any trauma, defined as an event that is life-threatening or that severely compromises the emotional well-being of an individual or causes intense fear, may cause PTSD. Such events often include either experiencing or witnessing a severe accident or physical injury, receiving a life-threatening medical diagnosis, being the victim of kidnapping or torture, exposure to war combat or to a natural disaster, exposure to other disaster (for example, plane crash) or terrorist attack, being the victim of rape, mugging, robbery, or assault, enduring physical, sexual, emotional, or other forms of abuse, as well as involvement in civil conflict. Although the diagnosis of PTSD currently requires that the sufferer has a history of experiencing a traumatic event as defined here, people may develop PTSD in reaction to events that may not qualify as traumatic but can be devastating life events like divorce or unemployment.

People are getting diagnosed with ptsd for traumas that are much less significant than having your child killed, your house destroyed, your reletives killed and all that you held dear in life snatched away from you by a drone. The sound of drone can be maddening and sent fear waves down the spine.
We have to learn to fught with the same weapons that the "friends " and enemies use with us just like Quaid-e-Azam did and before him Sir Syed Ahmed did.
