  • Ignore for ToC {:toc}

Today, we try to bring awareness to post-traumatic stress disorder. As a shared culture, we have spent centuries noting it---often in soldiers, to the exclusion of everyone else---and proceeding to marginalize the victims in various ways. We seem to finally have our first broad understanding of the issues involved and treatments beyond hiding from the world.

I feel thankful to not share in this disorder, but we shouldn't really ignore any issue affecting nearly seven percent of the population, and so I wrote a bit about the issues involved when describing my approach to [content advisories]({% post_url 2021-07-04-advisory %}), around this time last year.
