Is it true that PTSD is a real mental health condition?
Yes. An official NIMH page and a systematic review both describe PTSD as a recognized psychiatric condition with symptoms, risk factors and treatments, and several clinical studies measure diagnosed PTSD in patient populations. The evidence consistently treats PTSD as a real mental health condition.
