Lots of people have PTSD. Rape victims being stalked by their rapists are often PTSD, they also have a legit need to protect themselves. Whatever scale we use should reflect the complexities of real world diagnoses. What one really wants to identify is the presence of delusion, breaks from objective reality, certain fixations, homicidal / suicidal ideation, etc.

Which I think can be extremely difficult diagnosis-is. It’s a terrible situation. Most people seeing therapists/psychs are pretty good at concealing the real truths. (been there)
