Folks who have PTSD have brain chemistry that's actually
different from the way your brain was working
before you were exposed to the trauma.
The differences are in certain brain chemicals
that we call neurotransmitters, the levels of those poop out
in certain areas in your brain, and the only thing that
medications do is help you make more of those
brain chemicals, those neurotransmitters,
so that you don't have the symptoms of PTSD
to the extent that you did before, OK?
That is it, all right?
So rather than taking alcohol
and changing your brain chemistry that way,
I think it's better to try to take
something that is going to normalize your brain chemistry.
