Patagonia's T may have been talking about this...

"Different forms of childhood abuse increase the risk for mental illness as well as sexual dysfunction in adulthood, but little has been known about how that happens. Scientists have now discovered a neural basis for this association. The study shows that sexually abused and emotionally mistreated children exhibit specific and differential changes in the architecture of their brain that reflect the nature of the mistreatment."
Specific changes in brain structure after different forms of child abuse -- ScienceDaily

Of course, not all PTSD originate from childhood or from abuse so that study is not necessarily relevant for all cases.
Thanks for this!
