America's PTSD

I must admit that I was going to write this post a while ago, closer to the 9/11 decade anniversary.  But I didn't, because I assumed that surely someone else already wrote about it.  While I'm sure that someone did, I can't find anything.  It's true though; The United States of America has Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.  Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder and the good ol' USA has it and is in need of treatment.  I'm going to break down the DSM IV-TR criteria (in a vague non-copyright infringement kind of way) for PTSD and show you just what I mean.  Examination, after the jump.
