100% resolution?

In other words the constant state of alertness is gone? The exaggerated response to an unexpected noise is gone? The constant checking out of a new area for oddities is gone? The alertness to unexpected odors is gone?

There’s a horde of personality oddities combat PTSD people acquire. I just cannot see them all going away.

But then again the VA’s definition of 100% may differ from those that actually have PTSD.

I say 100% based upon actual experiences. Some with active duty while in state prison due to severe flashbacks that caused police SWAT Team confrontations.

I specialize in finding the root cause of the anxiety.

I presented to a government think tank in Washington DC back in 2002. It consisted of retired generals and government officials, including the CIA. THIS WAS AFTER 9-11, but begore Bush Sr. and Genrral Swartzkoff gave Sadam Hussain a thumping. I explained to the group that the severity of PTSD would be much greater in the upcoming war than in past wars, including the Vietnam War.

I also explained that there would be greater difficulty getting the military to follow orders.

Researchers try to call PTSD a moral injury, but they are wrong. It is an identity injury of which morals are only one part.

The current military training no longer requires a diminishing of the soldier’s individual identity to form a group identity. Thus the individual ego self identity takes personal responsibility for all actions experienced. Thus, they also carry the burden of the harm they caused or experienced.

An efficient military breaks down the individualism, thus the person just follows orders, often to their death.

In addition, the percentage of women with PTSD is much greater than the percentage of men with it. This has to do with emotional consciousness vs logical consciousness.
