"American language is loaded with euphemisms because americans have alot of problems dealing with reality and facing the truth so they invent a soft language to protect themselves."

This shows how we lose feeling for certain things by changing the names with more "P.C" terms.
P.T.S.D used to be called "shell-shock" in WW1 and if it still was called that, we would probably be more sympathetic to the soldiers and give them the help they need. Just like that soildier who commited suicide recently who was suffering from p.t.s.d.
