PTSD can affect anyone, of any background, it is not a discriminatory disorder. It could present itself more often in people who've grown up in abusive homes, but then again, there are a lot of abuse survivors who don't develop PTSD.
It may be more susceptible to people who naturally live in the past or future rather than the present, and people who daydream a lot or have vivid imaginations. Because of the way a PTSD flashback works, and how it takes you out of the present moment and makes you relive a traumatic event, someone who is naturally intuitive and imaginative may find themselves developing PTSD if they ever were exposed to trauma. But really, it can affect anyone.

How is PTSD diagnosed?
PTSD is typically diagnosed through a clinical interview where a mental health professional assesses an individual's symptoms, history of trauma exposure, and the impact of those symptoms on everyday life. The diagnosis follows criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) which includes symptoms such as intrusive memories, avoidance, negative changes in mood and cognition, and arousal/reactivity. Other assessments and tools may also be used to confirm the diagnosis.
