If it is questioning a specific person you know that has been diagnosed tell us what you have done to help him or her instead of questioning the difference between the times of Boardwalk Empire (1920's & 1930's) and Empire (2018).
If that isn't what you meant I apologize. People from a very bad time in N.Y.C. suffer with it every day all these days after that terrible event. Imagine the poor souls living with that pain. No specifics need be mentioned in this forum. In my opinion, it's like me saying I have a headache an someone saying I don't.  |
After having reread the initial inquiry, and Nucky's response to it, I don't see anything there that would warrant such a talking down "mansplain". The inquiry posed a legitimate question. Things and times do change, so what was once known as "shell shock" is now PTSD, and treated differently than it was in the 40's and 50's. Just as the term "consumption" was later changed to tuberculosis.
