In the US Civil War, they called it nostalgia.
In WWI, they called it shell shock. In WWII, they called it battle fatigue. Now they call it post-traumatic stress disorder. (PTSD) |

Your tax money at work -- for good, or ? HB I'll have to think about this. You're probably right, for one thing because a guy who gets messed up in war is probably 100% likely to know about it. I haven't thought about soldiers or ptsd, but you hit a nerve regarding the use of Disoder in adsd and add, with which they diagnose children, including one I know. I think it's terrible to tell a child he has a mental disorder under most of the circumstances that cause these diagnoses. When I was a child, this was called not paying attention, too much energy, etc. various good or mild things that still needed rectifying in order to be successful in school, etc. I never had these characteristics (a better word than "symptoms") but I would think tellilng a kid he has too much energy (too much for the situation) is a complement that will make him feel good. Telling him he has a disorder, especially if lasts more than a year, is a way to break his spirit. I wish I had had this figured out before my friends let, I'm pretty sure, their kid hear that he had adsDisorder. |

Fellow at work was bragging how he is on the take. Seems that he was in the army during the Vietnam era. He never left the states. A few years ago he applied for some kind of mental dissability and got about 20% because he worried that he may have had to go to Vietnam. I never was in the military, but maybe I should apply because I may have been drafted during that time. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
