It is an elevated cortisol/T ratio that seems to be implicated in PTSD and once PTSD is established it surely does not help improve this ratio given the chronic debilitating anxiety/depression these people experience. So, high cortisol/T ratio seems to be both a cause and a result of PTSD thus forming a vicious positive feedback loop like so many other stress mediators like estrogen, serotonin, adrenaline, etc. Blocking adrenaline and "sleeping on it" is a possible treatment for PTSD.

From personal experience of years of traumatic high serotonin/cortisol living, doing something once doesn't do anything. The key is consistency. Months , even years of clean eating is required. Things that really help are T3 and cyproheptadine, but diet is the key.
