Michigan changes PTSD to PTSI, but why?

Do they really think this will help? It won't. History proved that with all the labels placed on PTSD. History has also proven that titles do not replace wisdom and common sense. How did they think it would help when they have not done the one thing that really does help remove the stigma?

The one thing that gets the stigma out of the way is true education.

The people with no understanding of why some get hit by PTSD and others don't, get attention. The same people putting their trust in a program to treat servicemen and women developed as a research project for children. The same people refusing to examine medications used to replace therapy. The same folks ignoring the Army study from 2006 stating redeployments would increase the risk of PTSD. The same folks with the loudest voices are heard over the voices of reason.

Changing the title does not change anything when what works is ignored and what has failed is still being pushed.
