smitethepatriarchy:misandry-mermaid:clandide:Why does no one ever talk about rape victims and PTSD? Up until this Abnormal Psychology class, I’ve always been told that Combat was the major contributor to PTSD but damn, it’s 20% less than Rape. So please don’t tell rape victims to “get over it” or “its already over, it can’t change” because over 60% of rape victims have had their brain chemistry changed; PTSD is a mental disorder whether it is because of combat or because of rape.This is SO incredibly important, you guys.In all my life I will never find the words to express exactly how I feel about the absolutely heinous nature of rape and I will never stop being horrified that a lot of people don’t understand how terrible it is, but this graph might be a start. -- source link
