Not all stress after trauma is a disorder. A disorder, by definition, is a big problem. It’s “an illness or condition that disrupts normal physical or mental functions”. Think PTSD as “disorder from stress from trauma”.

How is it a solution? If giving people a drug reduces disorders and that benefit outweighs the cost, then it’s generally considered a good idea.
