Feeling sad or having regrets after experiencing traumatic events is a normal human response rather than a sign of a mental disorder.

“one of the main themes I was telling people during this tour was that's totally normal and it's okay it's okay to think oh I I lost some friends and sometimes I feel sad about it well yeah of course MH like that's that's that's normal that's fine”

The speaker claims that therapy and personal exploration helped him address his PTSD, which he previously viewed with skepticism.

“I thought the term PTSD was the was the biggest joke on the planet until I read all the symptoms and I'm like wait wait a minute”

The speaker believes that PTSD is often used as a vague, blanket diagnostic label by the healthcare system rather than a specific medical condition.

“it's a blanket diagnosis it's a billing code it's a blanket diagnosis for a specific Mental Health it's in the DSM so they can put something that they don't know where else to put it under that what it is”

PTSD is a disorder that feeds on avoidance, making it crucial not to avoid traumatic experiences in order to facilitate recovery.

“PTSD feeds on avoidance if we pretend that something didn't happen if we pretend that it will go away if we pretend that treatment is not necessary then and that that's when it gets complicated”
