Terminology affects perception, even in the treat community and, changing it can encourage research and better, 2 fold care, medical and mental, for sufferers like me

This speaks directly to root cause, whether physical or emotional.

If addiction is now considered a disease then we also need to change the labeling of trauma. Not a disorder but a medical condition and an injury that is caused to a person. Lets end the stigma!

Definitely it's not a Disease its a condition for a Trauma / Horrible Life Experience

I fully agree that removing the word 'disorder' is necessary. It’s not a disorder. There are various stresses felt by all people under different circumstances and they are not labeled as disorders. People heal or become stronger or cope in different ways and stress is no longer a concern or issue. But the disorder label can be associated with a person their entire lifetime, even after they no longer have a concern with stress. I know this first hand.
