Description:
The first manual diagnostic manual (which is designed to make mental disorders more aware to the world) came out by the American Psychiatric association and within it PTSD was talked about and made more aware. It described what PTSD was but said that it would disappear when soldiers were removed from combat situations which was far from the truth.Added to timeline:
