I don't understand what you mean by the post above? I have ptsd and am an addict in recovery. Ptsd from childhood trauma can go years without treatment and actually causes slight brain damage in some. Vets that get into therapy asap and deal with tragedy with adult coping skills may be different. The mental illness caused me to self medicate with drugs. Which was an internal cause.
