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.
