In this video he discusses how traumatic events, like disasters, can cause post traumatic stress disorder, and how the disorder can effect children differently than adults.

the police and the district attorneys gave me PTSD. they set me up and forced me to go into rehab when i wasn't even doing drugs. well, i did take drugs, but that was because i was trying to commit suiced because i couldn't deal with them accusing me of crimes i didn't commit. they forced me to take medication too and they misdiagnosed me. luckily i met a good therapist. we are still friends. she saved my life.

I'm really sorry. Sometimes people who think they know what they are doing just don't. Who can we trust anymore?

Thank you psychiatry for giving me P.T.S.D by forcing me to take medications against my will and to keep me as a prisoner in your so called hospital. I thank you for almost getting raped in your hospital. You say that your hospital is suppose to protect us? while people get raped all the time inside psych hospitals. you really "cured" me from my mental illness.
