- Blunted affect, psychic numbing --yes
- Aggressive, controlling behavior (a high degree of insistence on getting your way) --not to much
- Interruption of memory and concentration --yep,hate it cause it messes me up in being able to finish what i was doing.
- Depression --geneticaly predispositiomed for it,so far not to much,light therapy helps lots.
- Generalized anxiety --depends on how u look at it
- Violent eruptions of rage ...not in the lasr 20years
- Substance abuse --no way
- Intrusive recall -- different from normal memory in that it brings with it stress and anxiety --nope
- Dissociative experiences, including dissociative flashbacks --mild for of it
- Insomnia --on again,off again
