I hope this is not taken the wrong way, but IMHO, PTSD is not any more of a label than cancer, diabetis, or arthritis.

This is not a label. It is an illness. Pure and simple. Where it came from or whatever form it takes, it is still just an illness. So how could it be a label.

I agree with what one response was. Hi my name is Grama Herc and by the way, I have arthritis. That is silly. No one introduces themselves that way! So why would you do it with PTSD and call it a label. It is a condition
