The stress from his mom releasing him from his sanitized space bubble surely created the disorder. He was obviously playing with pretend friends until he got to college. Being around real people made him snap.
GOOD LORD !!!! PTSD ?! Seriously.......WTF !?

He probably got PTSD when she stopped breast feeding him at 18 years old.

I don't why but all of a sudden I'm reminded of my favorite crack about Stanford...

that's the last straw for me...disrespectful to military and totally crossing the line IMO.
You first, pilgrim.
As usual, you have no idea what you're talking about. PTSD is a condition that is far too common in our troops, but is not reserved for veterans of war, as you incorrectly stated. One of the first responders to the Sandy Hook shooting has come down with PTSD. But I'm sure you know better than any doctor who diagnosed him. Maybe you should the tell the officer in person that it is reserved for veterans of war only and not for those who witnessed the bloody bodies of elementary school children. You'd get knocked the **** out.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the military. He has a mental health condition. Post traumatic stress disorder is not exclusively a condition contracted only by military personnel.
I have the greatest respect for all veterans and appreciate their contribution to enable the freedom that we enjoy.
Guys - with all due respect to the military, I don't think the armed forces have a patent on the term "PTSD". There are many forms of PTSD and many triggers for it - not just stepping on an IED.
And let's keep in mind that neither Martin nor his parents have spoken publicly about this and no one from the Martin camp has brought any legal action forward either. Until the latter happens, and the gloves are off, I suggest we just cool it with the "Martin is a pu%%y", "he's disrespecting the military", "he's a money-grubbing mama's boy" stuff. For all we know, he really could just have a psychological disorder and is getting it treated. Really - it's possible.

I question the suitability for a job in Law Enforcement or EMS to anyone that needs to
be treated for PTSD over that. Mass Casualty situations are part of the job. They'd be more
than welcome to try to knock me out, and I wouldn't have any issue saying it to their faces.
I've been in more than one Mass Casualty situation. Does it stick with you? Yes. Should
it debilitate you to the degree where you're out of work, can't fuction, etc? No.
Am I saying that PTSD is only reserved for combat vets? No. But do I think that RI did
ANYTHING to Martin that would lend itself to causing PTSD? No.

He IS a momma's boy, and he IS a ***** though. I've never said "money grubbing"..That remains to be seen.Guys - with all due respect to the military, I don't think the armed forces have a patent on the term "PTSD". There are many forms of PTSD and many triggers for it - not just stepping on an IED.

There is no doubt he has a disorder. "Vaginitis"

PTSD diagnostic criteria per the new DSM V.
Criterion A: stressor
The person was exposed to: death, threatened death, actual or threatened serious injury, or actual or threatened sexual violence, as follows: (one required)
Direct exposure.
Witnessing, in person.
Indirectly, by learning that a close relative or close friend was exposed to trauma. If the event involved actual or threatened death, it must have been violent or accidental.
Repeated or extreme indirect exposure to aversive details of the event(s), usually in the course of professional duties (e.g., first responders, collecting body parts; professionals repeatedly exposed to details of child abuse). This does not include indirect non-professional exposure through electronic media, television, movies, or pictures.
Criterion B: intrusion symptoms
The traumatic event is persistently re-experienced in the following way(s): (one required)
Recurrent, involuntary, and intrusive memories. Note: Children older than six may express this symptom in repetitive play.
Traumatic nightmares. Note: Children may have frightening dreams without content related to the trauma(s).
Dissociative reactions (e.g., flashbacks) which may occur on a continuum from brief episodes to complete loss of consciousness. Note: Children may reenact the event in play.
Intense or prolonged distress after exposure to traumatic reminders.
Marked physiologic reactivity after exposure to trauma-related stimuli.
Criterion C: avoidance
Persistent effortful avoidance of distressing trauma-related stimuli after the event: (one required)
Trauma-related thoughts or feelings.
Trauma-related external reminders (e.g., people, places, conversations, activities, objects, or situations).
Criterion D: negative alterations in cognitions and mood
Negative alterations in cognitions and mood that began or worsened after the traumatic event: (two required)
Inability to recall key features of the traumatic event (usually dissociative amnesia; not due to head injury, alcohol, or drugs).
Persistent (and often distorted) negative beliefs and expectations about oneself or the world (e.g., "I am bad," "The world is completely dangerous").
Persistent distorted blame of self or others for causing the traumatic event or for resulting consequences.
Persistent negative trauma-related emotions (e.g., fear, horror, anger, guilt, or shame).
Markedly diminished interest in (pre-traumatic) significant activities.
Feeling alienated from others (e.g., detachment or estrangement).
Constricted affect: persistent inability to experience positive emotions.
Criterion E: alterations in arousal and reactivity
Trauma-related alterations in arousal and reactivity that began or worsened after the traumatic event: (two required)
Irritable or aggressive behavior
Self-destructive or reckless behavior
Hypervigilance
Exaggerated startle response
Problems in concentration
Sleep disturbance
Criterion F: duration
Persistence of symptoms (in Criteria B, C, D, and E) for more than one month.
Criterion G: functional significance
Significant symptom-related distress or functional impairment (e.g., social, occupational).
Criterion H: exclusion
Disturbance is not due to medication, substance use, or other illness.
Specify if: With dissociative symptoms.
In addition to meeting criteria for diagnosis, an individual experiences high levels of either of the following in reaction to trauma-related stimuli:
Depersonalization: experience of being an outside observer of or detached from oneself (e.g., feeling as if "this is not happening to me" or one were in a dream).
Derealization: experience of unreality, distance, or distortion (e.g., "things are not real").

Not everyone is as super hard ass as you. For some, seeing a buch of bullet riddled children ****s them up. Not defending martin by any means. Wish the whole situation would go away.
