== "I Love the APA Style, but..." ==
: I love the ], and I am one of the few people I know who not only love it (I'm usually surrounded by ]...yuck!) but I can write in APA format from memory usually (with occasional hints from the stylebook). Unfortunately, this is not an APA-style project, and we need to insure that the referencing system in this Misplaced Pages article is at least close to Misplaced Pages's style guide (], IIRC). I took out all the APA-ness of one section but it's late and I'm not going to work on the rest of the page tonight lest my brain turn off and I mess up some other section of the page (done that before). Anyway, just a note. I love the APA style, but ] is not the right place to be trying to use it. ] 07:36, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
:: Okay, I went through and finished un-APA-ing the article. BUT, many of the "references" need to be properly referenced as many of them I simply put into the WikiFormat of endnotes rather than the full-bore citation (mostly when there was no citation information other than name and year), so the article there still needs a lot of work. Furthermore, I removed a ton of just plain extraneous stuff... like the large paragraph about a Holocaust memorial turning into a city embarrassment... what did that have to do with ''anything''? I also pulled some unsourced statements (if it's a quote, it absolutely needs a citation) and did a bunch of tagging of other statements, mostly with <nowiki>{{fact}} tags and the occasional {{POV-statement}} or {{dubious}}</nowiki> tags. Still, the article overall, I believe you all will find, is far better and much more balanced, and in that belief I also removed one of the ] tags. Please, realize three things: 1. I am a ] who is ], 2. it is late and I may have made some mistakes, and 3. this all was done in ]. Cheers! ] 09:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

==Prolonged Exposure==

Such an argument would justify redeployment of troops to never ending rotations of duty, and also justify continued mental abuse under the pretexts of therapy. Becommming emotionally numb or nonreactive to unjustified adverse circumstances is not a therapuetic effect, it is just putting the patient (victim) in a more advanced stage of pathology.

== Prevalence section rewrite ==
I removed the Hurricane Katrina and 911 references in the "prevalence" section (and did a small rewrite). Hurricane Katrina is a major disaster that caused almost 2000 lives and 911 caused 3000 - a large number in American standards, but not anywhere else. It is nothing compared to the tsunami (last count was 230000) and certain other catastrophes that happened around the world and seem to be unnoticed by our comrades living in America, who continue to mourn over the nearly three deaths a day in Iraq. In fact, even the Iraq war caused more American casualties than 911, and for many, it is a much more daunting experience (with over a million casualties including civilians, directly or indirectly). I am in no way undermining the impact Hurricane Katrina and 911 had on many's emotional lives, but, in my assessment, it is ridiculous to compare it with the impact of the tsunami. I don't believe a significant number of PTSDs would result in 911 - the people directly affected, after all, are small, and I believe they have the ability to withstand the emotional impacts. The Indonesians would beg for a place on the World Trade Towers if they could. ] (]) 19:37, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

== What Happened? ==
:Since I took this page off my watchlist? It's gone downhill. I worked a little bit tonight, but there's a lot of work ahead on it. Argh... Which brings me to the next point...
== NO HYPHENS PLEASE ==
: The DSM-IV and DSM-IV-TR do not hyphenate posttraumatic. This is (therefore) the correct page/name for this article. If anything, bringing it to lowercase would be appropriate, but '''no hyphens please'''! ].
: Thank you all. Have a good night/morning/day. <!--SIG--><small style="font:10px Arial;display:inline;border:#690000 1px solid;padding:1px 6px 2px 7px;white-space:nowrap">''''' • ''''' ]]]]''08:54 (UTC) 17 Mar '08''</small><!--/SIG-->
::Wow, I didn't mean to push a button. In your edit summary, you shouted: "''PLEASE SEE THE TALK PAGE. What "most sources" state and what the official name is are two different things, and we have discussed this AD NASEUM.''" I note that our naming conventions call for us to use the name most commonly found in print sources, and explicitly do ''not'' call for the "official" or "most correct" name. I'm not sure there's a general consensus to ignore that naming convention in this particular case. -]<sup>(])</sup> 18:20, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
::: Let me first apologize for the somewhat knee-jerk reaction. We HAVE been over this before, maybe not quite ''ad naseum'' (it seems like it, but in researching back, I found less than I had thought). After the fact I was able to track links and stuff back to a "non-controversial page moves" bit and see that you were only the messenger, so to speak... I didn't mean to shoot you. ;-)
::: As for the name, we - those of us with expertise and who have been working on the article - had come to this consensus long before. It seems that if Misplaced Pages wants credibility, it needs to be accurate, and that means using the most reliable of reliable sources. In this (and other psychiatric cases), that would mean using the DSM-IV-TR as the firstmost reference. Do also note that since moving the page back, I have added reference marks to the lead paragraph which also makes the DSM literally reference #1.
::: As for shouting, while (apparently - feel the chagrin) caps is usually considered shouting, realize that - as far as I know - using boldface in an edit summary is not possible, so one (me) must revert to the old-school method (before we had AOL-speak and that crap)... the intent was to garner attention, as "see talk page" has historically not worked. If you were offended, please realize that was completely not the intent and become un-offended if possible. :-D
::: Anyway, again, please do not take it personally as I did come to realize that you were only carrying out what you thought was an already consensused or routine series of page moves. "No harm/no foul" my old Battery Commander would tell me (though sometimes he used it in the strangest of contexts), and I'm perfectly content with your intent and comfortable with the article at this time.

::::Thanks for your explanation, that helps. Do you think it would be fair to say that there is a consensus among those working on mental health articles to use terminology as standardized by DSM, rather than defaulting to ]? If that's the case, then we could write that down somewhere, and save the trouble later on if someone makes the same mistake I did. -]<sup>(])</sup> 18:21, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

::::::Ah, there seems to already be something in place, at ]. If this comes up in the future, you can refer people to "]", and I'll remember that, too. <p> Actually, looking at it closely, it recommends using ] names for diseases, and I read in our article on ICD that ICD and DSM are ''mostly'' in accord. It might be worthwhile to add to that naming convention that, for mental illnesses, we use the DSM-IV standard. Does that seem right? -]<sup>(])</sup> 22:48, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

: May I recommend, though it may seem US-centric, that perhaps the DSM '''''should''''' be the standard naming convention for psychiatric/psychological issues? The example of Tourette's Disorder was ideal... the "Syndrome" page can redirect to "Disorder" and no harm done, and no need to make the lengthy ICD page. No drama, simple, effective.

:::Hi folks. A thought: the issue of the spelling is actually kind of interesting, and the lack of the hyphen (or simply a space) sticks out like a sort thumb. I think it would be a good idea to add a short explanation to the article. Also, I don't think the non-hyphenated version is appropriate anywhere except in the title, according to my understanding of the style guidelines for medical articles (use the scientific name in the title, write for the average person in the body of the article, avoid jargon.) I've never seen the unhyphenated version anywhere else except here and in the DSM. I'd say the "common names" are PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder, and post traumatic stress disorder. Perhaps we should start a petition to get them to put a hyphen in for DSM-V ! ] (]) 05:56, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
::::No... I agree with the above that "posttraumatic stress disorder" is correct and ought to be used, but whichever form is used, it must be consistent throughout the article. It may be confusing to some people to see "posttraumatic" if they are used to "post traumatic" or "post-traumatic," but it would be much more confusing to have one form in the title and another in the body of the article. Regardless, I think this is rendered moot by the fact that "PTSD" is used in most of the body anyways, which is both clear and an accepted acronym. ] (]) 15:19, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::Hi Zefty. That's part of the reason I suggested giving an explanation in the text. That would relieve the confusion. But I have to stick to my guns. I agree about it being a moot point, but it is used once, as the first word in the article. Whether or not someone changes it, I still think an explanation of the odd spelling is called for. It is completely counter-intuitive, and sticks out like a sore thumb. ] (]) 19:00, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

== Double redirects ==

I've moved this talk page to match the article, but I see the article has a number of double redirects remaining from the move. I've fixed a few, but a number remain, and I don't have time to do these. See ]. Could someone fix these please.&nbsp;—&nbsp;]<sub>&nbsp;(]/])</sub> 11:22, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

== Vandalism Revert ==

Just that. Someone had typed in a few rather malicious and misleading remarks. (] (]) 08:54, 21 March 2008 (UTC))
