Debate: Are we over-pathologising young people's mental health? The case of trauma and PTSD diagnosis.
Diagnostic mental health nosologies and diagnosticians have expanded the definition of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a way that may be inflating prevalence rates and that risks downplaying resilience, minimizing adaptability, and compromising healthy development in children. In the context of over-diagnosing and over-pathologizing normal and common human experiences in response to distressing childhood events, we call for rethinking our approach to trauma and PTSD and changing our attitudes to include - in addition to the imperative to protect - ways that children can develop agency, self-efficacy, and strength in the face of negative life events.
