Understanding why these conditions occur moncler jackets outlet together so frequently is crucial to developing a long term treatment plan that will address these and any other underlying conditions present.

Post traumatic stress disorder occurs when a person has experienced an extremely traumatic event such as being the victim of sexual or other assaults, witnessing horrifying scenes like car accidents or homicides, from emotional and physical abuse and from many other severely stressful events. PTSD can also develop after the death of a loved one, and in some cases after the birth of a child. The human body responds to such high levels of stress by releasing endorphins to help deal with the pain and trauma of the event. When the event is over, the body goes through a kind of "endorphin withdrawal", which carries many of the same symptoms as withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. Many of those with PTSD will turn to alcohol as a means of replacing the feelings brought on [by] endorphin withdrawal."

This means that the very process of PTSD is similar to that of addiction. Substance abuse causes a release of dopamine a "feel good" substance created in the brain that is responsible for the euphoric high that people feel when they do drugs. Therefore, some might argue that post traumatic stress disorder actually precipitates addiction by causing a craving for the good feelings created in order to lessen the trauma of a disturbing event. However, studies indicating that sufferers of PTSD are just as likely to develop a substance problem before a traumatic event as after tell us that there's more to the relationship between these two conditions than we know.

In fact, due to the cheap moncler jackets severity of many addictions and because some of these have the potential to be fatal, treatment of a drug or alcohol problem is seen as a basic stabilizing necessity before any other underlying issues can be addressed.
