Why isn't my PTSD taken seriously?

When PTSD was first identified it was called shell shock for many years by the soldiers that experienced it back then. While it is most common on the battlefield, it can happen from other sustained traumas. It is important to see a professional if you find yourself affected by past traumas.

I can get how this is an issue. The stigma around mental health has yet to be solved. And I get that it's tough dealing with it from time to time. As a listener here, I came across many people suffering this issue, and it's sad to see how the environment makes it even more harder to overcome those triggers or improve in any way. But, it is not impossible! We're all trying our best in spreading the news about mental health, as well as ways to cope with it. I hope we can all take tiny steps in that regard.
