Another question I get is, you know, a person comes in
and they say, "I can't have PTSD, I wasn't in combat,"
or, "I can't have PTSD because
my experience really wasn't that bad."
And we've found that that's really just not the case,
that posttraumatic stress disorder can come from
lots of different kinds of traumas or events.
And in the same way, treatments for PTSD
can work pretty much regardless of what the original trauma
or the event that caused the PTSD is.
And so even if a person is a medic, or worked in a mortuary,
or experienced an accident during training
and it wasn't the typical combat trauma
that you think about with Veterans, you can still have PTSD,
and you could still get treated for PTSD.
