Yes, I think it's both that and the fact that there hasn't been a survey done. Mental health surveys, if they are done well, are expensive. But we have worked with Stats Canada, and the military and Veterans Affairs have invested in getting accurate information, because you can't guide policy if you don't have an accurate number. If we have x percentage of cancer, then you know how much to spend on cancer.
We don't have information about this. What are the accurate estimates? Are we dealing with 10% PTSD, or 30%, or are we dealing with 50%, whether that's in nurses or in security officers? I completely agree with you. I've treated and seen in my practice people who have struggled with PTSD, because it is a very high-risk environment. You're holding people down and you're being assaulted, and that physical assault has been shown to be a specific risk factor for post-traumatic stress disorder.
