she meant to remind counselors that they could initially diagnose patients with a less severe stress condition known as "adjustment disorder."

Its still PTSD no matter what you call it. Send her to Iraq or A-stan and let her get blown up, shot at, watch her friends get killed or whatever and lets see if its called "adjustment disorder."

Anybody even close to a PTSD (or mTBI) diagnoses needs to read this guide from the VVA (Vietnam Veterans of America):

Is that her way of saying it in a more PC way?  Either way, these men and women need help.  Screw titles.  Initally diagnose them with a less severe stress condition?  After fighting in a war?  I agree, send her over there and have her work at an FOB.
