+. Do you think there is a better understanding of PTSD today because of discussions of the military, school shootings, and other trauma, or do you think more needs to be done in terms of understanding?
+. Seeing all the articles and videos discussing mental health is very encouraging and it shows that mental health is a major topic today. However, do you think that the sources are reaching the right amount of people to make a significant impact?

+.	According to the National Center for PTSD, PTSD is a relative common mental disorder with lifetime prevalence rates for men at 4% and women 10%. What explains this large disparity?
+.	How successful do you think that virtual reality treatment is in treating PTSD? What do you see as the benefits and drawbacks?
+.	Having read Nellie Bly’s account of her 10 days in Blackwell’s Island, do you think Drunk History’s humorous video about her experience there detracts from the importance of her investigation? Was this video just for entertainment or does it have educational value?

+. Why do you think that African American patients are dealt with in the mental health system and prison system differently than white patients? What are some of the ramifications of this?
+. Does the media have a responsibility to be aware of certain images in the news that could trigger PTSD? For example 9/11 images triggering PTSD in those who witnessed it.

+. The use of VR to treat PTSD was so interesting. Do you think that the use of VR could be used to treat other types of disorders as well?
+. Do you think that inserting trauma training into schools at an early age would be beneficial to help students to be able to handle school shootings and natural disasters better?

+. Do you believe that the definition of PTSD in some of the supplementary resources was a bit too broad? Do you believe that one can incur second-hand trauma from watching/hearing about a traumatic event on TV? Would 9/11 count as an example?
+. Considering all these sources on PTSD, I was curious what the class thought about the argument that African-Americans in 2021 can face PTSD due to ancestral slavery. The logic is relatively complicated but revolves around extreme trauma leading to an epigenetic "expression" of anxiety disorder in slaves, which still disproportionately affects their great (x3) grandchildren today.
+. With the U.S. having such seemingly unique historical events/moments (deinstitutionalization, the war on drugs, etc.), do you believe our attitude toward mental health is completely singular compared to other nations? Why or why not? What countries come to mind as potential examples?
