I think TS is correct. Problem with PTSD, is that this view comes from the Societal view of PTSD, which comes from Holly Weird, the media, etc which is BS.

A person needs to be careful where they pick up knowledge on PTSD.

The VA, and Veteran service groups along with state's Department of Veterans are the best choices.

A simple view of PTSD is, it is a very normal reaction to a very abnormal traumatic event. A person with PTSD may also have other problems. Don't confuse those other problems as being PTSD symptoms.

This defense has been used in past. In one case, on further investigation the defendant was never in combat, had not had traumatic event while in duty.
