I suggest you speak to your teacher/professor to make sure he/she deems it a social issue. I personally believe that post traumatic stress disorder impacts society in countless ways; It carries with it emotional and psychological impact on the person themselves, their families, friends and loved ones. Society should also bear the burden to help those afflicted by ptsd, especially when it affects those who are thrust into horrifying situations in the name of country. The need for psychological counselling and the prevention of suicide comes at a cost for society, in "man hours" and financial funding". And I believe there is probably many a homeless person who suffers said affliction, who have fallen through the societal cracks.Certainly the ramifications of p.t.s.d. are social issues thet affect society as a whole. Good luck with your thesis-- and on your paper.

I know exactly what you're going through, and it is a hard process. There's no easy fix, no perfect solution to help you through everything, unfortunately. These were your couping mechanisms. These habits are what helped you deal with everything that happened to you. It's going to be hard, and it's probably going to take a while to feel as if you've completely turned your life around, but knowing that you're working toward that, and putting effort into trying will make it worth it. This is the approach that I would suggest. 1) Work with one habit at a time. Start with whatever you think is holding you back the most, or whatever you think will be easiest to change. Take your time doing it though. Realize that it's a day-by-day process, and breaking a couping mechanism can be hard and at times stressful. Don't be too hard on yourself if you take a step back, just look at the next day as a chance to move forward again. 2) I wouldn't worry about completely breaking a habit before turning to the next one. Just get to the point where it's under control, and you feel comfortable enough focusing on a second habit while keeping the first in mind. Keep up with the food diary if that helps you. Try keeping a general life diary, recording the work that you have put behind changing all the habits you want to break. Or if there is someone you are comfortable talking to about all of this, ask if they'll support you and help you. Good luck with everything. ******** I just wanted to react to some of the comments I saw. Although I do believe 100% that therapy is something that someone should do after something like this, I also know what it feels like to just want to be done with that. No, there's no shame in therapy or medication, but there is also no shame in stopping therapy or medication (if you do so safely) and just doing it yourself. Also, I don't believe that sheer determination will help you "just get over it." Rape isn't something that you can just get over. I was raped more than 12 years ago, and it still effects my life. It wasn't until a year ago that I admited to myself that this wasn't something that was ever just going to go away, and there is nothing wrong with that. Most people admit that this is something that continues to be a part of their lives, years and years after it happens. The key, is not to let it ruin your life, or run your life.

No. PTSD is a psychiatric condition.

However, the treatment (or lack of) of such individuals (and others with psychiatric conditions) by society would constitute a legitimate social issue.
