Still leaves out most of psychology though 😛

It seemed to me that you were implying all people who developed PTSD after being raped must be predisposed to it.
Obviously people have different levels of suceptability to anything but since rape is extremely traumatic no special predisposition is really needed for a person to develop PTSD from it.
