Basically it changes the body's response to stress. So far there is so rhyme or reason why some are affected this way and some aren't. The one thing everyone has in common is a violent, horrific event. War, disasters, death are a few of the things that trigger this disorder.
Some of the things that can result from this disorder are addiction, panic attacks, depression and more. Now more than ever there is great awareness and support for PTSD. You can search the internet and find a group near you or ask your physician. If you know of someone that is suffering help them find their way to help and support so they can resume a functional life.
