I love this Lilian! The comparison of diagnoses to constellations is fantastic. And so true. Creating a condition based on a loose group of symptoms isn't helpful much of the time. In fact, it can be destructive.
Thank you so much. It means a lot coming from you :-)
PTSD overlap with Parkinsons and Sclerosis and most other diseases as PTSD is a better umbrella.
PTSD is a person who knows exactly which event caused his symptoms (war, accidents etc).
Parkinsons is PTSD for a person who has had a lot of (smaller) episodes, often from childhood, but it can be school, relationships or worklife, and each of them is either forgotten or so seemingly insignificant that you cannot point to ONE. But this is how I help people. To find the 20-40 episodes that triggered their ptsd.
violent parents, near drowning episodes, car accidents, angry parents, broken trust. Childhood scary nights, lonelines. siblings fighting, getting lost. big and small episodes.

That's a great way to frame things. Agreed!
And I gues even war veterans have a foundation from childhood, that eighter help them or push them towards more trauma reactions?
For sure. You'd be amazed how many veterans have childhood trauma that significantly impacts issues later in life.
Could be interesting to pinpoint what is the difference in mindset. But difficult to find the people that have had a loving/safe childhood and life
