Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us

I'm sorry, I was just angry bc I look for any reason to avoid the fact I might have PTSD

[@panamacitybeachbum]

I would consider this type of testing for PTSD tortuous.

[@adamfey8336]

This sounds cruel

[@GamesCooky]

Torture would be to tie you up and slowly start making cuts all over your body. Or burn you excessively with a candle or a lighter. Or using waterboarding. I don't think they do these tests without the patient's consent. Afterall the patients are those that desire and sought help.
