Is PTSD from living in the hood or living in poverty real?

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

If you grow up around constant violence or drama, that shyt sticks with you. Especially at a young age all the way to adult hood.


And it’s something that goes untreated

I would add just being Black in America can cause it.

Just the generational trauma of being black in america is enough for PTSD let alone living in a poverty or straight up war zone on top of it.

The PTSD Crisis That’s Being Ignored: Americans Wounded in Their Own Neighborhoods — ProPublica

Chicago’s Cook County Hospital has one of the busiest trauma centers in the nation, treating about 2,000 patients a year for gunshots, stabbings and other violent injuries.

So when researchers started screening patients there for post-traumatic stress disorder in 2011, they assumed they would find cases.

They just didn’t know how many: Fully 43 percent of the patients they examined – and more than half of gunshot-wound victims – had signs of PTSD.

“We knew these people were going to have PTSD symptoms,” said Kimberly Joseph, a trauma surgeon at the hospital. “We didn’t know it was going to be as extensive.”

Yeah. I got diagnosed with PTSD by my black therapist. I laughed it off. Took me a year to finally understand.

100%! Took me a long time to realize that not everyone walks around with a weapon. Most of the people on this planet don't live like.

Being poor, and being black and living in the hood in America not sure how you can't have it.

I haven't been officially diagnosed but I still don't feel comfortable sleeping in beds till this day. Floor and a blanket and I'm gravy.
And I'm way pass poor now.
