In late September, Washington, D.C. psychiatrist Dr. Joseph Tarantolo authored an op-ed piece titled: “PTSD, The Grand Scapegoat.” In it, Tarantolo described PTSD as a “pseudo-diagnosis” and held that “the PTSDer gets an enormous amount of pseudo-sympathy.” On Friday, Tarantolo’s voicemail message said he was out of the country on vacation.

There is a link to a PDF that sounds like what you are talking about... , I will send the link if you want it...

[drifter0213]

i can't find it now but it was titled skeptics about PTSD despite claims about the iraq& afghan campaigns

[schizofriendia]

I still can't find it.  Maybe they took it down because it offended people.

thank you :)

[schizofriendia]

Thanks.  Sounds like the military is just trying to irresponsibly keep in its afflicted soldiers which is just right out immature of them.  I also have a few friends who flat out think schizophrenia is a false diagnosis despite me telling them I hallucinate and such.  There are deniers of everything pretty much.

thanks sza, i feel good about it now ok :)

As friends and family are concerned, it is difficult to imagine anyone we love having PTSD or any mood disorder.....The US Government has a totally different agenda when denying that certain disorders even exist.'
It has to do with money and with keeping the customers satisfied........
( those being the voters and the News Corp and those citizens with
the deepest pockets......)

I also heard something about this on Fox..take no notice I had some PTSD after a Trauma and trust me its a real thing..

I found this website on line the other day and thought I would share it with you....There are free PDF files for your own use if you go into the web site deeper...
