As you read the name, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) listen to its meaning.
Post -- after
Traumatic -- sudden and violent
Stress -- energy producing/subtracting
Disorder -- condition, continuingly out of place
The very descriptive name of this disorder would indicate that it is experiential in origin, rather than genetic.
To learn more, Type in the words Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Your server will give you numerous sites to search through. Look for listings by Mental Health or Health organizations, including Vetrans' Sites for more complete explanations of the disorder.

No. You cannot get this from your parents. You have to go through some ultra traumatic event to get post traumatic stress disorder. I had a REALLY bad case of it from being beaten up by the police in a jail cell. I didn't even commit a crime except drink a beer in public. Post traumatic stress disorder.... TRUE PTSD is the worst feeling imaginable. Trust me.... you'd rather you had HIV than PTSD.
Look it up on wikipedia.

You obviously don't know what PTSD is if your asking that. The word post, means after. So after going through something traumatic, you could possibly get PTSD. Everyone gets angry and irritated at times, it doesn't mean anything.

No, one must experience a trauma in their life to possibly develop PTSD. Just Google it.
