Who is more likely to be diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder?

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.
