what you should know: typically PTSD is a near death experience, torture, soldiers, facing situational or environmental. if you don’t believe me, ask anybody who would actually diagnose you. rare.
I was tortured. I took drugs (my bad) but that didn’t warrant people breaking into my house and torturing me under the influence.
But I have to disagree.
Ptsd is a brain disorder that affects everyone differently. Although it is spurred on by trauma, doesn’t HAVE to be so extreme.
Some people who have had horrific things don’t get ptsd. Others, less so traumas, have a major reaction
There is physical proof in the brain for ptsd
I wouldn’t listen to the 1990s formula pdocs had for ptsd, before they found out it was physical.
so, you’re trying to say more people sensitive, or more up to it,
are getting PTSD. okay. I would say that’s depending upon life, the total, and what went wrong, until you got this near death experience.

Are you saying ptsd is rare and only cause by extreme situations like near death?
I grew up with my parents fighting physically to the point I feared my mom would kill my dad one day. I have ptad from it but never experienced or witnessed a near death.
I’m not so sure what you’re saying.

I don’t think it’s sensitivity. It’s just environmental type thing. It could even be Vulnerability at the time of the trauma. Nurture nature as we know it now couldn’t explain ptsd
Mostly it’s physical. They’ve done X-rays in brains of severe ptsd patients. And it’s clear their brains are different in certain areas

Not a scientist tho….yet. 
it’s not funny.
How were you tortured, Jon. or do you call this drugs?
and no @Moon you don’t have PTSD.
I do, actually. I am formally diagnosed with it and have been by multiple drs.
I don’t get why you’re so confrontational.

you don’t have to respond.
@daze you’re not a doctor nor even close to being an expert. Stop trying to make false claims. You’re invalidating people who have PTSD.
