  1. Maybe me turning 60 soon was the reason, I healed from the stats on age. Why the drop between 50-59 age group compared to 60+ group?

    this seems to verify that PTSD takes decades to fully approach it’s whole strength. The war vets from Vietnam did not reach maximum effect till 15 to 20 years after the war. Maybe that is why the 50 to 59 age group is so high.

    What do you see in these statistics?
