Thanks for your article. PTSD should not be a disorder. Post-traumatic Stress "disorder" was in part used to gaslight soldiers who were coming back chronically ill after the first Gulf War. Four different vets of that war told me that the term "PTSD" was used to mislabel vets who were really made chronically, physically ill by exposures in the war. One soldier told me he had giant white blisters erupting all over his arms and legs after taking part in bombing weapons' bunkers, yet he was diagnosed with PTSD. Another reported to the VA that he had no bowel control and was told he had PTSD. The Riegle Report on the Gulf War contains accounts of this.
Even in terms of actual cases of traumatic stress, it is an insult to the survivor to call them "disordered." (For some reason the abusers, those who perpetrate illegal wars and other abuses are never labeled "disordered" when in fact they have the real psychological problems.)
PTSD should be renamed Post-traumatic Stress Survival, or Post-traumatic Stress Experience. Trauma is a normal reaction to extreme or life-threatening circumstances. Any child who is abused by a parent evolves differently than a child raised in a consistently safe environment. It is not because the child is disordered. The fact is that the child develops strategies and responses to survive. They should receive some kind of recognition of this strength rather than being labeled as disordered. Also, it is a misnomer when PTSD is automatically equated with addiction or violent behavior. The inability to navigate trauma sometimes contributes to various problems. But this is also a failing of adults. We lack mentors who can teach proper emotional skills to the young. People are left on their own to sort things out or not. There are many more people who went through abuse (either in families or as a result of policies, such as soldiers) who are peaceful, strong people who got on with their lives. Some even developed insight and compassion for others' suffering as a result of trauma.
I've had PTSD since the day I was born, pulled from my mother's womb and slapped silly. I was in a very comfortable place, hopefully safe, but warm and fed. Making a joke here, but no one seems to be able to handle anything stressful anymore. We can blame it on all sorts of things, 5G, nukers, food, polluted air and water, wars, media, politics, porn, etc. People do not talk to each other anymore; everything is via their cell phones text messages. Or X, Fakebook, Instagram or even You Tube. Our society is horribly decadent, there isn't much decency left. People have lost their marbles and morals. One has to be afraid of speaking up for fear of "dying". Well, you're gonna go anyways. Greed and corruption have taken over. Most of the simple ways swept aside. Why is it that more poor people are happy and giving than the rich? I understand the need for service dogs, but I've seen people bring their uncontrollable dogs into stores where they lead their owners around like raucous children, peeing and pooping wherever with other customers ooohing and awing over said pooch. I don't feel the need to purchase anything from a store with dog hair all over it. Sorry. I like to feel relaxed and comfortable shopping, not worried about being bitten or stepping on someone's 4 legged furball and being yelled at for being inconsiderate. I've had cats and I would never consider bringing them with me. It would be too traumatizing for them. And I don't want strangers touching my pets - you just never know what kind of psycho you'll run into these days.
Yes, legalization is there, which is good news for many people, and it's a huge step forward in pain management.
At the same time, the government-owned international underworld must make its profit, too. It was obvious already decades ago that the next choice would be human trafficking for a number of purposes. Children are taken one way:
And military-age males are probably trained for the upcoming private armies that will protect the private lands that are being bought up by the richest, and these armies will be probably used against the general population, too.

Great summation, Ray. Total accord with my own take on mental health treatment.
My son has a different approach to dog therapy. One of his band dogs, confiscated by his wife on mariage breakup, chewed a ladies arms off. My son joked about giving her a hand. My granddaughters echoed the sentiment. My take is hard to evade, we are all psychopaths. But then we live in a very strange part of the world, the Top End of the Northern Territory of Australia, once declared as enduring more deaths due to violence than any other part of the world not at war.
Since then, this relatively peaceful status has disintegrated into internicine street war.
Most local residents would argue we have been at war for decades, with every crime imaginable committed even by children as young as nine. The left claims they need sympathetic understanding, encouragement to apologise to the victims (well, the ones still living, obviously), special counselling, mental health therapy, and lotsa drugs.
All of this explains why psychiatrists all have private swimming pools, bested only by their MD allies.
The most difficult part of PTSD is when it’s caused by a Government and Media who will Gaslight you at the same time you are being stressed and tortured. Even worse, when it’s accumulative by ongoing events from different factions over years or decades. I’ve never been able to recover, and because even my home is a weapon being used against me, the building itself plus the unfair taxes & mortgage for what is clearly NOT a home, and now the added environmental contamination by multiple energy and Bioweapons working in tandem, it’s impossible to overcome. This is NOT an accident. I’m so amazed I haven’t tossed a Molotov cocktail and just jumped off the balcony already. I’m just too stubborn-hopeful that someday I’ll overcome these multiple attackers and their weapons, then get to know what it is to really have my own space and live; a real foundation for the pursuit of happiness in a world everyone is included, not like the monsters of Israel with plans to kill off everyone else on earth so to have the entire world to themselves—a few racist monsters.
There are legitimate service dogs for disabled owners, but there are far more illegitimate service dog owners with untrained dogs, that stink up the entire industry. There are far more effective therapies for somatic symptoms from unreleased trauma than canines for most people. For some a dog is a traumatized human's best friend, for others dogs are the traumatic trigger. After being bitten three times, (not counting nips) I'm shy cubed of strange dogs running at me. I just don't like barking dogs, yelling owners, crotch sniffing hounds, shit on sidewalks, Pomeranians in purses.
Yes, there is a whole industry of fake "service" dogs, and dogs tend to exhibit quite a bit of their owner's character. Neglected dogs can go rogue, and strays in packs can become predatory wolf packs.
I can relate to your experience with dogs, because a large shepherd dog bit me, when I was about 12. It was a sly dog that was quiet until he bit me. I have been reluctant to approach that breed ever since, but had better luck with other breeds.
Most of the time, time heals most wounds. When the injury cannot be identified, how is it possible to talk about healing or even therapy? Moreover, there is no definition of health or illness... Support animals, in my understanding, only represent a bridge for an injured person to find the way back to the world of humane humans.
talk therapy is not helpful for PTSD and other body based dysfunctions. Although social relationships are. So a tx can be that non-judgmental friend we all need, or the questioning one when we need that. I was 13- when a German Shepherd my oldest brother brought home from the junk yard went for my throat. I got my arm up, but that's body based trauma. Didn't know what PTSD was, but even the sound of a dog chain collar could set off my full on stress reaction. Sometimes I heard dog collars that weren't. That did fade. Have had to chase off a lot of charging dogs since, and that actually helped.
I don't expect myself, or anybody in my normal circles, to ever need a service dog, but it was lovely (even therapeutic) to read such a nice article about dogs!! Awesome creatures! Thank you!
Seventeen million is a conservative estimate, and only the beginning.
I've had this weird feeling for years, when reading discussions in comment sections that it's like fish in a restaurant fish tank talking about who is going to be eaten first.
The "Like" is for providing the link. Looks like one of the "we"s that don't exist and one of the "runs" that don't exist, either. Why? Because "the power elite" has never been identified. Why else? Because nothing has changed.
Ptsd here. A cat is my healing modality. And medication. But the adrenal dysfunction and associated biochemical physiology feedback loop appears a stalwart in presentation. Twice a week the mind trips in cascade of hyper arousal. This is why those advocating for fierce action, be it re Gaza. WEF etc would do to be considerate.

PTSD certainly keeps the people unthinking about the real cause of the wars and domestic attacks, including the Covid crackdown of 2020.
