Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is one of the mental health disorders that has caused many deaths around the world, but, again the doctors have also ignored it by not handling patients battling this disorder professionally and instead the quest for money has led in the front while they mask themselves on what they say is help when handling PTSD experiencers. They have come up with a lot of fallacies in it. There are four groups of people who are prone to this disease namely; police officers, soldiers, military and the aircrews.
The author, H. Nattanya Andersen gives solution to how one can heal himself or herself without the use of pharmaceutical drugs. She is writing from experience. Before the PTSD experience, she was aircrew; only after the event experience things started changing for her. She talks of the drug that she was given that instead of healing her worsened her condition. The determination that she had on knowing about PTSD made her to escape untimely death that was before her.
The author also goes further to explain deeply why PTSD experiencers can not get quality care, instead trials and errors are done on them like they are animals as they believe human beings are, this makes them loose the lives of intelligent citizen as she says because the intelligent and the physically strong are the most affected by this disease.
The book teaches the readers on ways to get out of the situation safely. It speaks of the powers that be (as stated by the author) that should be helping these people to get quality care doing the opposite. The likes of WCB (Workers Compensation Board) which should be of great importance are used to put the experiencers down just for the gain of money.
My rating for the book the post traumatic stress disorder fallacy is a full four out of four stars.
I liked and enjoyed the book so much that under rating it will be unjustified . I recommend the book to all people undergoing the PTSD crisis. I also recommend it to public who can read because in as much as one may have not undergone this itmay be on the way so the public needs to be ready. Review by Adrian Kinyanjui » 27 Jun 2021, 17:20

The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Fallacy is anoutstanding book by H. Nattanya Andersen. She documents her struggles with PostTraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the common PTSD misdiagnosis, and thestruggles that people living with PTSD go through. The book starts with thenear-death experience she encounters when working as a flight attendant in amajor airline.
Nattanya narrates how the airline psychiatrists did more harm than good to helpher recover, only to be supported by her Irish psychiatrist. She even statesthat PTSD is not a mental disorder, as the so-called experts claim. It is,instead, an existential crisis that builds up within. While reading the book, Iwas saddened that we, the supposedly loved ones, deny the people living withPTSD isolation, thinking that we are protecting them. Well, according toNattanya, the isolation they crave brings peace that they need to heal.
The book was an eye-opener. I loved how the author gives her insightsand quotes the experts in her explanations, which leaves the readers satisfiedand adds credibility to her findings. I also admire how courageous and daringthe author is to trend off the beaten path.
Overall the book was generally enjoyable, educational, and informative.I will hence rate the book 4 out of 4 stars since it was exceptionallywell-edited, enjoyable to read, and did not disappoint. In conclusion, I feltthat the author is extremely talented. Going forward, I'll be keen to check outany of her upcoming books in the future.

I recommend it to anyone struggling with PTSD or anyone who has a loved one who has PTSD.
H. Nattanya Andersen Takes the reader through her long journey to PTSD recovery. She experienced several near-death experiences working as a North American Airways flight attendant. One of the major experiences being a Boeing727 engine exploding five feet from her. This incident left her nursing invisible wounds. This was an eye-opener for Nattanya as she realized that no one in the company cared about her recovery. To them, a sick employee is a loss of the shareholder profit. Twenty-four mental health professionals were assigned tohelp her recover. Nearly all of them were working in the company's interest.Only two had her best interest at heart.
The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Fallacy by H. Nattanya Andersen is anon-fictional book that helps the reader understand PTSD from the victim's point of view. It elaborates on PTSD as a gift, what PTSD victims go through,how to reconstruct, and understand what the victims want and need for them to reconstruct. I got to learn new things by reading this book. For instance, the victim needs to cultivate Self-wholesomeness, consciousness, and wellness by adopting self-compassion, empathy, discipline, persistency, and a positive attitude in the recovery process.
Reading this book, I couldn't help but get fascinated by how the author gave a different approach to healing PTSD. She goes against the notion, 'doctor knows best' and clearly states that, "The experts pretend to know about how to live with PTSD, but they are the blind leading the blind." She also explains key terms and theories that help the reader understand more about PTSD. She does not fail to cite references that are aimed at provoking the reader to go the extra mile and do more research on them. Her healing process and survival story act as a guide and motivation for people living with PTSD.
This book is an excellent tool, and it helps PTSD victims understand that they are the only ones majorly responsible for their healing. This is because no one, not even the very best experts, will understand what they are going through except themselves. The knowledge acquired from this read is exceptional.
There is nothing I disliked about this book. It has a few grammatical errors, but this does not affect the reading experience. With that into consideration, I give it a rating of 4 out of 4stars. I recommend it to anyone struggling with PTSD or anyone who has a loved one who has PTSD.

On August 24, 2001, Air Transact flight 236 crash-landed after gliding over the ocean for about 30 minutes. Gimli Boeing 767 ran out of fuel at 36,000 feet altitude at Manitoba, Canada. Wondering what these incidents have in common? They left survivors behind. Survivors who have to nurse their hidden wounds.Post-traumatic stress disorder eats away at the very core. A visible injury elicits compassion. But how do you treat an injury of the mind? Psychologists, psychiatrists, and experts in various fields have endeavored to give answers.But have we really found a solution? Or have we compounded the problem? Nattanya's book is a gripping tale of how the author overcame the hurdles of PTSD.
I selected this book, wondering what could fill the pages of such a voluminous book on PTSD. After reading the first few chapters, however, I was hooked. It was heart-rending to read about the horrors of PTSD, and how well-meaning people can make life more difficult for sufferers.
I loved the simplicity of this book. There were no obscure medical terms. The author's first-hand experience gives this book a touch of originality. I observed that the author's favored modes of treatment might be viewed as unconventional. But then, we all have a right to our views. However, tapping from my previous knowledge on PTSD, I found much of her sentiments agreeable.
I would rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. I deducted a star for the typographical errors that I found. Mostly in the form of misplaced or absent commas. However, these errors did not interfere with my enjoyment of the book.With another round of editing, this book should be just fine. If you happen to know of someone struggling with PTSD, or if you are trying to cope with it, you may find it helpful to read this book.Review by Zarhaa6 23 Feb 2021 -Volunteer review: onlinebookclub.org
4 out of 4 starsPost Traumatic Stress Disorder is a mental condition is triggered by terrifying events. In The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Fallacy by H. Nattanya Andersen who is a journeyer of PTSD shares the experiences she goes through and what she discovers about its treatment. During her research, she goes in-depth explaining what PTSD really is, what are the experiences and also some secrets about the treatments. So does one get life back after the treatments? Do the treatments work?
I love the book, since it shads some light on what PTSD is, it's symptoms, the different treatments and who are the most affected people in the society. I was glued to the book from the very first day. I was so curious to know all the events about PTSD and to say it it's a deep-gripping and an educative book. Itis so overwhelming to the journeyers as they go through a lot before their recovery and some take so many years to get better.
What is so moving about the book is the various steps to healing from PTSD. It all depends on the individual, his/her determination or persistence. This takes us to different research teams recommending different treatments depending on ones behavior.
One of the best part about the book is when it pinpoints that self-love is astep to recovery. I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars since there are no typographical errors. It is a very educative book full of useful information. I would recommend this book to individuals who are going through PTSD or if someone wants to learn about the condition.

Unbiased to any specific religion, anybody from any religion could read this book. Further, the writer has used separate bullets to mention the important facts to make it easy for readers.

From the Author
Diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after, by a hair'sbreath, escaping to be blown out of the sky, 23 Workers CompensationBoard- and airline employed psychiatrists and psychologists attempted to drive me into suicide.
With the helpof an Irish psychiatrist, a frequent NorAm passenger, I survived 10years of their traumatization. Years later, when I discovered, thatgenuine PTSD experiencers' do not recover, when under the"care" ofmental health professionals, I decided to find out Why.
I went far back in human history to prove the existence of genuine PTSDand disclose, how I, by following a holistic and spiritual path,through osmosis healed myself.
My non-fiction, meticulously researched work, The Post TraumaticStress Disorder Fallacy: A Mental Health Industry Bonanza of Profit and HumanDestruction, is the first part of my journey of discovery and all topics which helpedme on th way. The second part is to follow in late 2021.
