Hello and Welcome to another Episode of Macabre for Mortals. This is part two of the three-part series on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. As we learned from the first episode, there are lots of ways for PTSD to emerge and also a lot of ways the symptoms can develop. As with most disorders there is not a one size fits all diagnosis. This is mostly down to our new invested interest in the field of mental health. I say this since the medical field has been interested in disease and the workings of the human body for thousands of years. But when it came to mental health, it was a lot easier to lock people away and forget about them than understand what the brain is going through. However, like physicians of the past, I believe that at times we are so eager to find out about mental health that we pigeonhole symptoms and patients into the wrong categories too fast rather than spending quality time and finding their correct diagnosis or their unique symptomology.
