But how?

The first of the three groups is so painfully elaborated, that probably no-one still has the full use of their brain by the time they encounter groups two (accident victims) and groups three (rape and abuse victims).

The term has also been applied to:

frontline health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic
who have had to deal with extremely stressful situations
in which they were unable to provide care
at a level that they considered appropriate

people involved in accidents

people who have been raped or abused

But how? How does being involved in an accident create another entire class of injury, beyond the existing categories of physical injury, shock, emotional trauma, and the many existing categories of post-trauma psychological distress?

But how, again, for group three? Rape victims already have an overflowing menu of so many injury categories, it probably adds paperwork trauma as the cherry on top.

Hmm. Unless by moral injury you actually mean the police paperwork, which certainly ought to have its own trauma category, because goddamn them all, those offensive cookie-cutter tick boxes that never properly encapsulate your actual experience, and the blanks get ever shorter to provide any other verbal account.

I'm being sarcastic here, but clarification needed, in all seriousness. — MaxEnt 02:14, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Symptoms

Maybe there could be a section on symptoms? If the symptoms are already explained out as far as they can, sorry. I just want to know if this shares any similar symptoms with PTSD. 👍 Bucky winter soldier (talk) 11:53, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not having moral injury

We don't mention why people don't routinely have moral injury just from living in this world. Why is that? Marnanel (talk) 19:28, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
