Whether you'd call those changes "damage" might depend upon what specific behavioral results you experience. Fortunately, your brain is plastic - that is, it can change again and again. So, although PTSD can change your brain, you're not stuck with the change - you can make subsequent adjustments using the proper therapy. Best wishes on your report, Joseph Hi, Mary-Rose,
