Causes of PTSD
Like most disorders, there is a legitimate form and a less legitimate form. Although his being the internet there is no way to fucking tell.
Legitimate Reasons To Have PTSD
Some argue these are IRL reasons to pull out your own hair and eat it. Others however are inflicted with a sense of sadism and feel that the fact these were real events, which happened to real people and left them badly traumatized is funny. Who can blame them?
- Molested
- Raped
- Murdered (Although you technically you can't get PTSD from being murdered.)
- Nuked
- Served in Vietnam, World War I or World War II,Iraq maybe Korea
- Burn victim
- Prison
- Erectile dysfunction
- Victim of tragic car accident
- Being hit on by pedophile at young age. But don't say that to TheAmazingAtheist.
- A visit to Uncyclopedia.
Less Legitimate Reasons To Have PTSD
As though being raped, blown up or somehow mutilated was not funny enough there are plenty of people who haven't been traumatized but like to pretend they have been. For some reason they think this means they will receive sympathy. They have clearly not been on the internet for long.
- Almost raped
- Gained one pound OMG NOW I'M OBESE *vomit*
- Teenage "Holocaust survivor"
- Coveted thy neighbor's ass
- Coveted thy neighbor's ox
- Oppressed by the man
- Served in Grenada
- Served in the Canadian-American War

Victims
Although between 50-90% of people experience trauma in their life, only about 8% of these people will get PTSD (this are fact because it's on Wikipedia).
The people most likely to get PTSD are:
- Being in a war. But since it's mostly voluntary to have no-one to blame but yourself. Being in the army does not make you hardcore - actually quite the opposite.
- Having Daddy love you too much. Being Almost raped doesn't count.
