I think that what is the same for everyone is that SOMETHING HAPPENED which massively overstressed our brains. It is often childhood neglect, abuse or trauma, but, as for me, it can also be overwhelming stresses occurring in adulthood. PTSD is a good term which covers all traumatic events which are beyond our coping abilities. I feel that the symptoms of PTSD, whether anxiety, hyperarousal or depression, all have the same root cause- an environmental trauma. I meant to contrast people like you and me versus people whose illness may have more of a genetic basis, such as bipolar illness, where traumatic events may not play much of a role.
