Could risk for PTSD be inherited?

Very interesting, but to enlist, are we doing DNA workups at MEPS? This would be very dangerous not in regards to safety alone, but to the credibility of mental health professionals, Dr's, and other medical professionals vs. Scientists, Religious leaders, and anyone who doesn't believe PTSD is real now. I put religion and scientists on the same side for a reason. In cases, the two cannot see eye to eye. Religion has the belief of a deity making space and everything in it. Science questions that with the Big Bang theory. Medicine relys on both and often contradicts itself. I believe personally there will never be a consensus on this being it's taken different ways, by different people, with results ranging from full ability to function to instant suicide and violence risk. Who's right, who's wrong? Why not try to combine something? Religion and science would easily apply to almost 90% of the cases who used them to get through the darkness. That IS power. Now add the medical community and tell me about the triple threat? Fight as one, or let it go based on individual needs. We have more battles to fight, find the cause, make a solution, implement it, follow up.....or make them do yoga. Hated yoga.

Several behavioral health disorders are thought to be genetic or give offspring a predisposition if a parent has a particular disorder. Whereas PTSD is generally based off a personal experience, the predisposition could be handed down genetically. Furthermore if you have a child raised by parents with inappropriate coping mechanisms those will be learned behaviors by that child. If a parent has PTSD and doesn't copes in an unhealthy way it's likely the child will also cope in a similar manner as their models (parents).

Hopefully not.
