News Oestrogen And Ptsd

I discovered this article about some research linking the risk of PTSD to Oestrogen levels.

I thought some might find it interesting.

Interesting indeed, thanks for sharing. I have PCOS so my hormones are out of whack, I wonder if that's why my PTSD is so bad.

Ditto to hormones majorly out of whack, & not being on anything that'd correct it up.

Intresting!

I have had PCOS since I was about 17. They had to approx it as I never was able to see a OB/GYN til I was 18.

I have VERY unbalanced hormones. I don't have a cycle for years and years and if I do it's a day, maybe 2 at most. And I have the bad parts of having too much testostirone, including going bald. :(

But that is intresting. I wonder, if I didn't have PCOS, if I would have gotten PTSD or not or if it would have been some how less?

Yes, it is. Thank you for sharing :happy:

the authors note that in addition to modulating fear learning, estrogen has also been proposed to alter pain perception.

I wonder in which direction pain perception is altered? More or less

While I do believe that hormones play a huge fact in our lives, that is only a smart piece of the puzzle. PTSD is a neurological sickness that has been introduced into our lives because of an intentional act or accident which has damaged our brain. Hormones may make it worse or better, but to me that is about it.
