People who develop long-lasting PTSD often have a prior history of psychological problems.
They are also more likely to have smaller than normal hippocampi.
MRI studies have been used to demonstrate that the hippocampal damage precedes PTSD rather than being a result of PTSD.
PTSD seems to be a result of impaired neurological and cognitive functioning that existed before the trauma took place.
