Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) itself does not directly cause epilepsy, but there is a potential link between the two. Individuals with PTSD may experience seizures, which can be psychogenic in nature, stemming from psychological distress rather than neurological causes. Additionally, the stress and trauma associated with PTSD can increase the risk of developing seizure disorders in some individuals, especially if there is a pre-existing vulnerability. However, more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between PTSD and epilepsy.

Can bipolar disorder cause transsexualism or vice-versa?

Psychology uses terms such as 'bipolar disorder' and 'transsexualism' to refer to specific symptoms, not diseases or disorders (despite the word 'disorder' in 'bipolar disorder'). As a result of this, they cannot possibly cause each other. However, there could possibly be disease(s) that lead to both bipolar disorder as well as transsexualism. An example is post traumatic stress. Post traumatic stress could lead to either bipolar disorder or transsexualism or both. The truth is, psychology has not been sufficiently developed to answer this question accurately and with certainty. It is philosophy, and statistics, not yet a hard science.

Can being the cause of someone's death give an individual post traumatic stress disorder?

Yes, being the cause of someone's death can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for the individual responsible. This experience can result in intense feelings of guilt, shame, and horror, which may trigger flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety. The emotional and psychological impact of such an event can overwhelm a person's ability to cope, leading to the development of PTSD symptoms.
