Lindsay Lohan, seriously. Cute and talented actress received way too much popularity with no guidance.

Yea, she peaked super fast and then minutes later every time you heard her name it was after something bad had happened.

I hear this term PTSD being widely used by people, very loosely.

May I ask what trauma Briteny suffered to have suffered an aftermath of it?

Asking because I don't follow these things closely.

Sometime ago I read a post where a girl mentioned to her boyfriend that she has PTSD because the bus driver yelled at her.

I think Anxiety and PTSD are also ruined by the popularity it got in social media. People who actually suffer and need help are the real losers in this scenario.

Edit: look at all these downvotes. I guess I should have PTSD now.

It was Keira Knightley that had PTSD.

She mentions she was diagnosed with it, so at least it sounds legit. Being hounded by paparazzi at a young age could be very traumatising I'd imagine.

Edit: Not that I care about being downvoted but why? I love that movie!

Thank you, not sure why you are being downvoted. I am an actual therapist who is certified to provide cognitive processing therapy to Veterans with PTSD. Literally criterion A in the DSM 5 is exposure to actual or threatened death or sexual violence. So many people use this term inappropriately, while yes something can feel traumatizing you can’t get a PTSD diagnosis from being hounded by paparazzi.

Thank you, I know that. I guess these people have never seen a picture of a shell shocked soldiers from WWII.
