Not that is was always easy for me, but I wouldn't blame my intelligent, always thinking, creative and quirky brain for it. At least not alone. Yeah, I wish it would shut up at times, that I could turn off the associations I sometimes have (however, I don't desire to turn that off pernamently).
careful with statements like that. You are about to face mad people who will defend that they are disordered and you are offending them by telling them they are not.
But for me? THANK YOU ****ING MUCHLY!

Your welcome
Yeah... I should clarify that I was referring to an "abnormally developing brain". The unintended (I hope) implied suggestion that a person with PTSD was abnormal before the event(s) took place that triggered the PTSD. Not to the how, what, why afterwords which would definitely spur some debate
I am way over my head when it comes to explaining what happens to make somebody unable to function properly due to PTSD.
I don't have a problem with quirk. It actually means "a peculiar behavioral habit". It fits a lot better with where I am going which is to say we don't know what causes MI. "Quirk" says something behaves differently without being specific. We know so little that they could really be looking in the wrong part of the body. Of course I think that the brain is probably involved somehow. I'm just saying we don't have proof therefore it is inaccurate to say the brain was abnormally formed.
Oh... Now i had a concussion at 7. You can pick up the damage even now. Given where it is it makes sense that i have been effected by this damage. But that is measurable and it happened as a result of an accident. They could try but I doubt seriously they could explain my depression that way. According to the person who did the EEG I have a "great brain" otherwise. It would take too long to go into why I think nutrition plays a bigger role in depression than something inherited. But I don't think the cause is isolated to the brain.
