Sheesh.... Shoot me now...
I think you took my post too personally. I'm simply stating some disorders are easier to track to trauma and some are not trauma based.

This we even learned in psych class 20 years ago when researchers failed to find any strong correlation between bad childhoods and schizophrenia and we realized schizophrenia to a big part is genetic.

Someone with trauma will benefit from trauma therapy but someone without, will benefit from other approaches. This is just common sense.

I'm not pointing fingers at anyone here, but in my PAST, people have been very prone to find my trauma which has been upsetting and hurtful. Since we all need the truth, it is equally upsetting as if someone who had trauma is told they imagined it...

The tone of this thread has become abusive and I need to say I have never intended to drive it in that direction. I see others do though, and I think you need to think twice before saying awful things about each other.

There have been good posts in this thread too, but those have been drowned out unfortunately. I want to thank the people who had something constructive to say.

And to Open Eyes, if you think aspie, it is probably ME, yea I have that "awful disease", however 3 of my absolute best friends have PTSD and they like me as much as I like them.
