War Is Not Necessarily the Cause of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Recent research carried out at Business and Social Sciences, Aarhus University shows that surprisingly, the majority of soldiers exhibiting symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome were suffering from poor mental health before they were posted to a war zone.That is not surprising. That is completely predictable. There are other kinds of traumatic events that trigger PTSD... so war is clearly not necessary or sufficient. And if you didn't always confuse correlation with causation and blame aberrant behavior on adverse environments and events, well, you would not consider the possiblility of progressive illness so shocking.
Bonus Points for You- as it does seem the motivation for this experiment is that you were working with the Danish Defence Command and they are trying to prove that war wasn't the cause. Nice Job. Big Whew for them. Those broken people aren't their responsibility now.
It is kinda fun that your conclusion it that incompetent psychologists are the reason. Undiagnosed and unaddressed behavioral issues. I gotta say- I really appreciate that.
But you're still wrong about the cause of the illness. You haven't changed your psychosomatic paradigm one bit. You've just shifted the timeline a little.
