[Paleopsych] What's the survival value of post traumatic stress disorder?

[Steve Hovland]

PTSD is just pointless suffering.

Some estimate that 50,000 Vietnam vets
suffering from PTSD committed suicide
after the war.

Like all other depressed people, PTSD
sufferers are invisible to the rest of the
population, so they serve no purpose unless
their condition is successfully treated.  And
then the only purpose served is that they
are able to live something more like a
normal life.
