@Shannon Actually Have thought about that but I don't see anything from this program at all. On top of that my flashbacks and outburts (symptoms of PTSD) have gotten even worst. So I don't know what is going on. I don't think it is that but I am honestly not seeing anything from this program so far unlike with LTU.
As for your question yes it does happen. Will post an informative article below but here is a relevant part:
"Researchers have also looked at the size of the hippocampus in people with and without PTSD. They have found that people who have severe, chronic cases of PTSD have smaller hippocampi. This indicates that experiencing ongoing stress as a result of severe and chronic PTSD may ultimately damage the hippocampus, making it smaller."
Also: "The hippocampus is a part of the limbic system of the brain. The limbic system describes a group of brain structures that surround the brain stem. The brain structures that make up the limbic system play a major role in how one experiences certain emotions (fear and anger), motivations, and memory."

Yeah, so I didn't just make that up on the fly or something I just thought up. There are many more studies and articles saying the same thing. The only thing they haven't figured out is if the Smaller hippocampus came before hand (hence its a sign that someone might be more prone to having a PTSD event) or if the smaller hippocampus is a symptom. Either way there is a connection. Either way, that is just my opinion on what is going on.
