Changing PTSD to PTSI
It’s an injury, not just a disorder: Dr. Eugene Lipov’s, passion and commitment can be further demonstrated through his vigorous advocacy efforts, seeking to redefine “Post Traumatic Stress Disorder” to "Post Traumatic Stress Injury" and therefore, reducing the stigma that is associated with PTSD.
