A common misperception about ptsd is that it results from discrete traumatic events or episodes. It doesn't in general. More often it results from discrete or continuous traumatic events or episodes together with one or more of alienation, lack of social support, or ostracization. That is one reason why not everyone who experiences a shared traumatic event will develop PTSD.
So what is maladaptive are there breakdown in social ties and cultural/social infrastructure and process for supporting humans going though hell, not, in fact, my PTSD, thanks

- zsz 7y ago1. PTSD is in actuality frequently triggered by a single, discrete, traumatic event. 2. The feelings of ostracization/alienation and general disengagement from social discourse are indeed well known markers -- except, they follow, rather than lead the onset of PTSD. In other words, they manifest as a result of PTSD -- not the other way around.

- lfuller 7y agoWhile what you're saying is correct, you're describing CPTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder) rather than PTSD, which typically results from a single traumatic event.
