Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default Can Thoughts and Action Change Our Brains?
For years, scientists believed the brain's structure couldn't be changed. The new science of neuroplasticity says that's not the case, and argue the brain is much more flexible than previously thought. Science writer Sharon Begley talks about her new book, Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain.

The brain is an incredible, often misunderstood, organ of the human body.

I believe our thoughts and actions can change our wiring, and this can be beneficial or harmfull, depending on what our actions are. I am skeptical that we can actually change, physical alter, or bring about morphological changes in the actual brain structure.

Anthony- I have been involved in intense study of neuoplasticity. In fact, I have created a form of self therapy based on neroplasticity and Mindfulness. I am convinced this is the right road for me, and have come far. I have used affirmations, posters placed throughout my house, Mindfulness in all areas, and an attack and general reshaping of what I call; addictive neg. thinking.

This site is wonderful-I am not alone, Chris
