General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

PTSD aint newly found though optimus,it has been around for years. First World War soldiers had a lot of it but then they used to call it 'Shell Shock'. A mate of mine had a job for a while working in the USA with Vietnam Vets with PTSD. There is a compensation culture and I agree with you on that, its just that those people who do not have the symptoms and say they do are causing people to be sceptical about genuine sufferers. Its the same I guess for the many people on disability benefit who claim when they are not really disabled. That takes resources away from genuine disabled people. There is a woman where I work and she gets on my nerves because she drives a massive Mercedes sports car,can walk well from what I have seen of her and yet has a disabled sticker on her car!It is very annoying!!
