Hey addyson!
I appreciate that you added that diagnosing a person provides them with validation; they might have felt they were just being dramatic or going crazy. I also wrote in my response that mental disorders are not visible in the same way that a broken leg is. It might be hard for a person to even identify that they are struggling mentally; often, the change is more obvious to their loved ones. I like that you wrote that people might simply not want to talk about their past, even if it could mean relieving stress. Especially for those with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, I feel that talking about their experience would feel like an impossible task.
Great response!
