A couple of minutes in, they refer to PTSD as something made up... Like Peanut Alleries.  :tongue:

So, having PTSD as a result of anaphylaxis to peanuts means I'm twice as delusional?  I wish.  :disappointed:
ANA peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, potato, sorghum

I didn't watch but was it mocking combat vets with PTSD and individuals with anaphylaxis or mocking the pervasive belief of an ignorant public that thinks it's make believe because there's no overt symptom manifesting 24/7? In that Mark Twain fashion of satire.
