10x prevalence in US citizens? Common, folks, this is BS[edit]

The article claims that US population has 10-20x higher prevalence of PTSD in its population. This is a clue for bad science. Maybe the definitions are to loose, maybe US therapists enjoy financial kickbacks. Anyways, something is odd in the kingdom of PTSD.

Veterans[edit]

Would someone with editing access please change the name of the section 'Veterans' to 'Military Veterans'. The reason is veterans is not specific to former military personnel, yet that is how it's been used here. Thank you. 2003:D3:FF2C:3F2B:9446:6972:DB4B:9DC0 (talk) 18:59, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
