chosen.content: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can indeed be triggered by experiences in the military, but it can also be caused by trauma of any kind. PTSD is characterized by intrusive memories and flashbacks related to the trauma, avoidance behaviours, elevated arousal, numbness, and other symptoms. People have PTSD from their childhood for many reasons, such as physical or emotional abuse, living in an abusive or war-torn environment, or experiencing a life-threatening event. Even if a person did not directly experience a war-torn environment themselves, their loved ones who were affected by the trauma of a war or similar situation may have experienced PTSD.

rejected.content: Yes, PTSD can be triggered by exposure to traumatic events in childhood, such as physical or emotional abuse, neglect or sexual abuse. It's important to note that not everyone who experiences trauma in childhood will go on to develop PTSD, and there are many other contributing factors, such as the severity of the traumatic event and the amount of support available. Additionally, some people who have served in the military do experience trauma in childhood that can lead to the development of PTSD. Therefore, it is not always exclusively linked to military service.
