Sally Satel, a psychiatrist and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, comprised her article "PTSD's Diagnostic Trap" (2011) of definitions, information, and evidence that provided the reader with a full comprehension of PTSD and how it affects our military personnel, even after serving. Satel's article starts off with the plain definition of PTSD and leads to how to deal with the situation both medically and financially. Satel discusses how some cases of PTSD are misdiagnosed because some medical professionals are using "outdated" parameters for the diagnosis. Using historical facts Satel shows the reader how the diagnosis of PTSD has developed over the years and how labeling a soldier as "disabled" slows down the healing process even more. Satel's article was intended for an adult audience including those who suffer from PTSD, medical professionals involved with the field, and military personnel.
