I'm well aware of what PTSD is, and that article is about depression. I dont give a shit about this supposed "collective trauma". Edit- most of the people described in the article would be ethically diagnosed as having depression and/or potentially Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). I have a BSc in Psychology and used to treat victims of serious crimes where the offfender(s) was convicted and received federal sentences at minimum 4 years +.

I wish that term would not get thrown around so much like when a fat chick complaining she was delivered the wrong pizza, now she has PTSD. What you're describing is not PTSD.
That's why I specified ethical diagnosis. No ethical doctor in North America is going make a diagnosis of PTSD as per the DSM-5 simply because of upsetting world events. It would end up as (like I said) depression and possibly with generalized anxiety. People like yourself are being overdiagnosed with "CPTSD" as per ICD-11 and it's not doing anyone any favors. You and your friends need to visit a war zone or a 3rd world country if you think you got it so bad. You don't know what real trauma is; not by a long shot.
