My honest rating would be 3.5 stars. I like that this book goes in depth about how trauna affects the body and mind especially if they suffered from child abuse and neglect along with being a war veteran. I also appreciated that they went in depth about different treatments to treat PTSD and the history of PTSD in the DSM.
I would've liked to see how other traumatic events can affect whether someone would develop PTSD and how people with disabilities are at increased risk of developing PTSD. I think that religious trauma, racial trauma, and medical trauma should've been explored here too.
Otherwise, I liked learning about trauma more in depth here.
