Stress Excess

By Margot O'Neill. This program examines the flood of people who are being diagnosed with PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Vietnam War Veterans were the first to be diagnosed and now the condition is being recognised in people in a wider range of conditions and circumstances. Beverley Raphael targets the rapidly developing "trauma industry" and suggests it may even be harmful. The Victorian Government has legislated against victims of crime being compensated for pain and suffering.
