2024-08-14
Arrr, ye scallywags! A band o' healers be petitionin' the grand ol' APA to swap “posttraumatic stress disorder” fer “posttraumatic stress injury.” Let’s lighten the load and raise the sails on better treatment, matey! Savvy?
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn 'bout a band o' clever healers who be settin' sail on a grand quest! These fine scallywags be wantin' to hoist the flag o' change with the term "posttraumatic stress disorder," and in its stead, they be suggestin' the jolly phrase "posttraumatic stress injury." Aye, ye heard me right!Ye see, the good ship APA be sittin' 'pon the high seas of mental health, and these brave clinicians be hopin’ to sink the stigma that clings to our brave mates who’ve faced stormy battles in their minds. They reckon callin' it an "injury" be more fitting, like a cannonball to the ol' noggin, instead o' a disorder that sounds as nasty as a bilge rat! They be thinkin’ this change might lead to fairer treatment rates and a smoother sail for those who be sufferin’.
So, raise yer tankards, me hearties, and let us toast to this merry band of healers! May they find fair winds and following seas as they navigate these choppy waters of change, for every pirate deserves a chance to mend their sails after a treacherous voyage!
