Well. Short answer. I believe PTSD is the medical term used to describe the illness you all suffer. And as such it is appropriate. Has to have some name or else there will be confusion. The illness itself is not a label though in my humble opinion. To suggest so is to suggest it is not a serious life long condition, which I believe it to be. I believe its incurable at this time. You will never be who you were before it either, in my humble opinion. There is a difference between unmanaged and managed PTSD. However. That is not the same as a cure. I don't believe there will be a so-called "after PTSD" until we see a cure.
