The important thing, and if you don't remember
anything else about what I say, is that PTSD is treatable.
We have excellent treatments, and the sooner you get
treatment, the sooner you can try to turn your life around.
I want you to be able to recognize that you may have PTSD
and to understand that if you do, that you should get help.
And if you're not sure, you should go to see someone like me
who can tell you whether you have PTSD.
Frankly, one of the happiest things that happens in my career
is when someone comes and says, "Do I have PTSD, Doc?"
and I say "No, you've got some problems that need to be
corrected, but you don't have PTSD,
and they're fairly easy to correct."
Other times, though, the person really does have PTSD,
and we want to get them in treatment, and we want
to get them in as quickly as possible because
we know that it can be a life-changing event.
