There are specific nutritional considerations for PTSD, and though they do not lead to a cure, they certainly make life more tolerable.

I've got both chronic and acute PTSD; the former from childhood abuse, the latter from being assaulted by a violent alcoholic, who took advantage of my pacifism. I'm not cured, but I manage well.

Please don't close your mind to coping strategies. All or nothing thinking is part of the disorder, by the way.Lar
