I just read a short article (which I will post in the news section) that suggested that PTSD is 30%-40% genetic in origin. That is, it results from both a traumatic experience as well as a genetic predisposition.


Personally, the information comes as a relief, as I pile so much blame on myself for being "weak" and developing this. It's nonsense, but it's what goes through my head nonetheless.
