Nope - I mean PTSD. there is a growing body of evidence that PTSD may be caused (In many of most or the diagnosed cases) by concussions causing brain damage. This manifests from either enemy munitions, or the shock wave from your own artillery, explosives, or large-caliber weapons.

The WWI name of "shell shock" describing the same phenomenon was probably more accurate than "PTSD".

What in the world are you talking about?

There are 0 requirements for head trauma with PTSD, it's a stress response.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the top tier, evidence based treatment for PTSD. 60-80% can actually lose their PTSD diagnosis through CBT in some studies.

I'm not saying CBT is the magic cure, but it's very helpful for retraining the body's fight or flight response.

For TBI, there is not really any amount of CBT that can impact it due to the physical changes in the brain. This is why things like ibogaine and psilocybin are encouraging, because they seem to be causing neurogenesis.

I'm somebody that has spent my life dealing with both of these issues through combat sports and military combat. It's something I stay on top of.

WW1 shellshock was a diagnosis consisting of an undifferentiated mix of concussion and ptsd, the diseases may have been completely untangled by now but it’s not impossible that there is still some blurring

Maybe in 1918 we thought so but we've known better since prior to the DSM-III in 1980. Over 46 years.
