LONG-TERM MOLECULAR CHANGES IN THE BRAIN EXPLAIN SUSCEPTIBILITY OR RESILIENCE TO A TRAUMATIC EVENT
PTSD is a chronic mental health disorder. However, science still does not understand why some people are susceptible to the condition. Understanding why some develop PTSD when exposed to stress and others remain resilient may help develop better treatments. In the new study in mice, researchers found that mice susceptible to PTSD seem to have […]
PTSD, ALONG WITH COMORBIDITIES LIKE SUBSTANCE ABUSE ASSOCIATED WITH CELLULAR MARKERS OF PREMATURE DEATH
Physical ailments increase the risk of premature death. Now studies confirm that PTSD or other mental health issues are also associated with early death. In recent years researchers have developed a reliable biomarker called the “GrimAge” marker. It is a genetic biomarker that can predict the risk of early death. A new study in those […]
