People in other parts of the country do not understand how widespread and serious the effects of PTSD are in NYC and Washington

It's certainly true in New York. And you know, no one was just there, entirely passively. For one thing, you could smell the fire for a long time, weeks. It gave you a very strange feeling. For another, everyone knows someone who was directly or indirectly affected by the WTC bombing.
