I am not a doctor, but I always thought PTSD was related to the special kind of stress caused by the inability to fight/flee the fear/panic inducing stimulis. As like caught in an artillery barrage or such.(I am also am not a veteran, but I once had a dream of being in a minefield that is traumatic to remember after many years!) I don't mean to belittle the many traumas which may have occurred in the course of your mother's passing, but it seems to me that there is a difference here of sorts. It seems like some sorts of stresses don't actually lead to life-affirmment or moral strengthening as well as others. Of course some are probably *cowards and weaklings* too. Chin up!
Good point, we have no idea what the long-term consequences of these mind control drugs will be. However, the money is probably there to be made, so we'll be able to enjoy the societal benefits anyway. Like Tylenol for the folks who weren't planning on using their Livers, and Prozac, Xanax &c. for the bystanders who forgot to wear their ballistic protection.
As part of the court order for custody of my kid, I have been ordered to undergo psychological evaluation, the suggestion being that I need drugs to control my thought patterns. Quite a megillah leading up to this, but evidently my determination to "just deal with it" is wrong thinking.

Yeah! Just like the reduced premiums we enjoy now that auto insurance is compulsory. You can trust the corporations to look out for your best interest.
IMHO, legal action is unrealistic for most people. Personally I don't have time for that, like the DOA mainboard I shoulda sent back &c. How about a liability law that makes spam expenses billable? If it was profitable to recieve spam/viruses/pop-up ads then the problem would end like yesterday.
