They can't have PTSD from climate change.

Unless you want PTSD to just mean "uncomfort". In which case, everyone has PTSD. But then what does disorder mean if it's normal?



I agree, but apparently PTSD from climate change is a thing.


Doesn't the P in PTSD require climate change to be over before it can be classified as such? Shouldn't it be called Ongoing or Anticipatory rather than Post?


true. Is the danger from nukes done now?


Lots of fake ideas are "things".


Seems weird to play semantics with what is, as I understand it, a collection of symptoms.

You wouldn’t gotcha the flu because it’s not actually caused by the stars’ influence, would you?
