There was a stupid push for PHs for PTSD a while back but no, those with PTSD do not warrant a PH and they shouldn't. Purple Hearts are often something that, at least for me, that is something very sacred. Those who have been awarded the medal have literally bled for our country. As much as I empathize for those suffering from PTSD, as I have PTSD written up in my records, it does not warrant being put in the same category as being shot, blown up, or otherwise physically injured in war.

No no hell no. PTSD does not and should never qualify for the award. And this is coming from someone that has a Purple Heart and suffered from ptsd
