I guess experience depends. If positive diagnosis, is attached to some sort of compensations.
If psychiatry can sell you cheep medicine for a huge profit, they will overdisgnose.
If employer, institute, state, or university would have to pay compensations, they will under diagnose.
About 20% of US population went through horrible sexual abuse (documented fact). I would not discount the amount of people who have anxiety and PTSD from past events.
> Got no compensation
Did you bring a lawsuit? In such a situation you don't need to rely on the kindness of people's hearts.
Yes, I did, no result. First bite is free!
If animal has no documented history of attacks, owner has no way to know their aggressive animal could harm people. And they are not responsible!
It probably wasn't even the first bite. Most victims of dog bites are friends of a biting dog's owner, with implicit (and sometimes explicit) pressure not to report. I've met people whose dogs have bit as many as seven people without having a formal bite record.
I was mauled by a rabbit, not a dog (I love dogs!!!).
But in theory it is impossible to report rabbit attack. Police will refuse to write a protocol, and give you an report! If you insist, they insert weasel words like "non aggressive rabbit was provoked", making any further claims hard to prove.
I would recommend anyone whose neighbors have aggressive rabbits, to install cameras, keep all records several years back.
And report every incident! And also check your report was actually kept, and put on record a few weeks later!
Makes everything much easier in a longer-term, if your family members ends in hospital!!
No, rabbit. Dogs are amazing smart creatures, they would never harm anyone!
This conversation has drifted very far from the original post, and it was only ever tangentially about anxiety anyway.
This is also simply not true: we have so many examples of horrific dog bites, with normally-well-behaved animals, well-meaning owners, etc.
How big was this rabbit? Holy shit I never thought of a rabbit attacking someone.
Not old enough for Jimmy Carter's swamp rabbit? or Monty Python's Rabbit of Caerbannog?
I was commenting on what I saw to be the diagnostic process. What did you see of the process?
