Can PTSD be caused by watching a graphic video? In this video, Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring breaks down the controversial case of a teenager diagnosed with PTSD after watching a live suicide video and explains what PTSD actually is, how it develops, and why most people exposed to trauma do not develop the disorder. We cover PTSD symptoms, real risk factors, the debate around 'trauma', protective factors like family support, and why antidepressants are not recommended as a first-line treatment, especially for people under 25. This is a study that utilizes evidence to examine PTSD, internet outrage, and what actually aids in recovery.
