Well, yes, those are biological whys. However, I would encourage you, ESPECIALLY if you are going into the mental health field, to begin therapy and delve deeper psychologically into these issues. I see a social worker currently and it really helps that he has had his own therapy and understands what it is like to be a client. PTSD is a painful diagnosis and it is hard to look at these issues sometimes, but therapy has helped me immensely in improving my symptoms and ability to cope. I used to look for the 'whys' a lot before I started therapy, but now I realize that knowing why won't help me with what I experience. I have to accept that what I experience is what I experience and then figure out ways to improve what I experience or cope with it.
