Future Trouble...?
I'm not sure how this will play out. The suicide rate needs to be addressed. The change of a word doesn't seem like something that will help. Rather, it seems like it will only muddy the waters for care.
If PTSD becomes an injury instead of a disorder, will pyschiatric care change? Will the way insurance treats it be changed? Does diagnosis mean that everyone is awarded the Purple Heart? A lot of questions to be asked. And, while I'm sure these things have been considered, the article fails to answer them.
