Postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder

It would be helpful if you read WP:MEDMOS (particularly on section naming and order of medical articles) and WP:MEDRS (we don't typically use primary sources on Wikipedia, rather secondary reviews). If you have any questions, please post them to Talk:Postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder. I'm trying to clean up the article, so perhaps you could read these items in the intermim?

I was wondering if you intend to read the talk page, at Talk:Postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder? Also, see WP:FN on footnote placement and named refs, and this may help you fill in citations from PMIDs. I'm glad to see you're using reviews now, but the primary studies need to be replaced.

Please also review WP:MEAT. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:59, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, Dunnhellem! Participation in the Wikipedia project is a demanding, compelling, and rewarding experience for many, many people. I hope it is for you as well.

Please allow me introduce myself. I am the editor who has in recent years been most involved with the PTSD article. My reason for this is that I treat PTSD, along with DID, as my central specialty, and I want the people I'm involved with, and others in a similar position, to have available to them here the best information we can offer.

I have already posted some of my thoughts about the Postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder article you've recently been working on on its Talk page, so you may have encountered me there.

I wanted to explain that I've changed the spelling of post-traumatic stress disorder to posttraumatic stress disorder (no hyphen). This is the spelling used in the DSM-IV, as well as in the PTSD article. Many people come to the article and try to change this, but that is simply not the convention. Because most research in PTSD references the DSM, that is also the spelling used in most research articles (but not ALL, I grant you - British journals use the hyphenated version, for example, and your citations include a number of these journals).

I would like to offer myself as a resource to you as you develop this article. If you visit my userpage (click my name) you'll see that have multiple involvements in Wikipedia. While I have a very full schedule, if I can help you in any way, please post a message on my Talk page. I'll notice it quickly, and response as soon as possible. I'll be most happy to help in any way I can.

Good luck with your adventure here!
