Op-ed: Renaming PTSD could help reduce stigma, encourage treatment
Briefly

"Reducing post-traumatic stress among military veterans can lead to a reduction of a host of social ills, but first, we must end its stigma as a 'disorder.'"
"While the name of the condition may have changed over the years, its causes and symptoms have not. Also unchanged are the profound stigmatization around it and the lack of treatment that follows."
"Through decades of research, we specialists know that we can successfully restore those who are suffering post-traumatic stress to what I call a 'pre-trauma state,' affording them an opportunity to reclaim their mental health and sense of agency. And put them and their loved ones on a path toward wellness."
