Now, this woman may not represent either of those ideologies completely...but an idiot is an idiot, no matter what you believe in. Sure, many people have PTSD, and it doesn't have to be from military situations (the Boston Marathon Bombing, for example, led to many cases of PTSD, and many cancer survivors have it, too.)
But to claim you got it through dissenting opinions on the Internet basically means that every single person on Xbox probably has PTSD because they were tea-bagged once in Halo.

You can't get PTSD unless you were nearly killed, saw people killed or were horrifically injured or someone else get injured or were tortured or experienced seeing someone else suffer or get tortured or whatever. But you can't get it from cyberbulying. People not knowing the difference in the mental disorders aggravates me and I don't even study psychology...

This. You need to experience some form of trauma, whether it be physical or even visual to be diagnosed with PTSD. Someone calling you a name or arguing with you is not trauma. It may hurt your feelings, you may cry like a little girl, but it's not trauma.

But it can still cause depression which is no small thing, but it's still a different psychological trauma than PTSD. People need to know psychology better :/

Exactly. Not wanting to go outside due to fear of the surroundings and people is not PTSD. That is closer to agoraphobia.

Yeah. I don't like people either but outdoors is nice but a little disconcerting...
