Do you think "re-naming" PTSD to PTS will really make a difference in the "civilian" community, especially in the areas of treatment, employment, volunteer positions and public opinion? I tend to think the "damage" has been done and I liken it to giving a stone the title of a rock, but it's still a stone... (My apologies, I like metaphors...) Your thoughts?<br>

I cannot endorse semantics as a strategy to solve humanity's problems.<br><br>My holidays are no more enjoyable since they became DONSAs. Reservists are not thought of more highly because we call them Troop Program Unit members. Cross-leveling is no less disruptive because we call it.... I already forgot the new term.<br><br>PTS, PTSD, Battle Fatigue, Shell Shock, Combat Stress.... call it Perfectly Normal Warrior Behavior (PNWB) and it will still mean the same thing.<br>
