oh yah, then there is the 'yes I used to have/do that but don't any longer'. Night terrors (inability to regularly sleep at night), recurring nightmares of intruders, inability to have orgasms, etc etc etc, all things have 'fixed' through time, belief in impending doom (I really didn't think I'd live past 18, then 21, then 25, but now that I am 38 I don't seem to have a set time I am sure I'll die anymore). I can't call those symptoms anymore, now can I? If it is true that PTSD isn't curable, but you can deal with and treat some of the symptoms, then in my opinion, the questions should include 'do you or have you experienced a)this or that symptom?' |
