What are the most common causes of post-traumatic stress disorder?
The causes of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) do center around a traumatic event. We do know that different types of trauma are associated with different risks for developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the future. So for example, if you are the victim of crime or held hostage or victim of a sexual assault thats associated with a very high risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you’ve been involved in a natural disaster such as a hurricane or flood, that’s something that probably isn’t as likely to cause post-traumatic stress disorder compared to some of the earlier examples. We can actually construct a spectrum of various traumas and associate the relative risk for developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In terms of the brain structures that are involved in developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) some research points to the amygdala and hippocampus. These structures are important because they are involved in memory. If you re
