although this would affect you in certain ugly ways, it's nothing but truth. I don't see how seeing something like this happening could cause a brain or emotional disorder, now if you were okay with it and it had no effect on you then something would be wrong with you, like being evil or something of the sort. But if you see someone mowed over by a freaking automobile and feel bad about it, thats not a disease.

That is just not a disease, am I making sense?

No one knows what causes the brain to develop these disorders.

I hope you have access to competent, professional care to explore your issues regarding this horrific event, and if that allowed you to easily slip into a depressed period and be misdiagnosed.

No no no, if you see your friend mowed down, it makes you feel bad, ya know why? Because it is horrible, it's as simple as that, not a disease.

Oh, it will cause bad emotions but if it's something like seeing your friend get runover I don't think that there is any pill to help with emotions that you should be feeling.

Something like that happens, man, your just gonna have to feel bad basically.

Define post traumatic stress disorder. Seeing bad things happen causes this? That isn't a disorder then.
Ya know, post traumatic stress disorder might just be made up, down right delusional, because if you see something bad happen and you aren't completely retarded or a poo poo face your gonna feel bad about it. That is like giving people pills for being good and caring.

Then what you do is go back to your doctor and say "The lithium doesn't seem to be working, can we try something else?" Your doc will have suggestions and solutions. If he doesn't do it on his own, ask to be referred for a psychiatric consultation. Youll get a full psych work up done on you with a psychiatrist and then you can begin to work on what's brought this on, if it has anything to do with the accident, etc. You may feel guilt, shame, horrified, scared, or traumatized, but how would you expect to feel after seeing something like that?

I mean c'mon, you think there is an actual disorder called Gulf War Syndrome? Just cause you were in the Gulf War doesn't give you a brain disorder. What HAPPENED in the war can cause you to have feelings and thoughts that you need to seek help for, but can we call that a mental disorder? No? Those are normal thoughts and feelings.

To watch someone die and NOT be affected by it, now THAT is a mental condition.
