People with a thicker ventromedial prefrontal cortex were better able to cope with stressful experiences.
A study conducted by the Masschusetts General Hospital suggests that people with a thicker ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) were better able to cope with stressful experiences. The researchers findings maybe help explain why some people develope PTSD while others bounce back from traumatic events.
In the future, it maybe possible to measure a person's vmPFC to predict who more predisposed towards anxiety disorders.

Sometimes, the onset of PTSD can be delayed by months or even years. This could be the case in your situation. Ifyou have not already, you might want to talk to a therapist about this.
Also, how are you currently feeling? Is your anxiety getting better? Or is it still much like the day it began? |

| What about the Amygdala? I heard it causes most Anxiety problems and should have an easy treatment? |

| I think the studies that keep coming out are amazing...really helpful to address the inner critic that can start to burden a person with criticism about why they have symptoms, when in fact the body is doing what it is designed to do. Of course, the body can get stuck in negative feedback loops that make it too sensitive (ptsd and other anxiety symptoms) or too depressed. |

I find that odd.
I do understand the course of negative feedback loops with
a person with depression.
It seems once i get on that pattern that is it.
Its basically like my own body saying "its this way we
are going, and i dont care if your tired"\
Those loops seem like they can drag you on and on. |
