Study finds PTSD affects hormone levels differently in non-industrialized vs. Western societies.
A new study by Arizona State University and the Naval Postgraduate School found that in a non-industrialized community, those with PTSD had normal cortisol levels but lower testosterone upon waking, differing from findings in Western societies.
This suggests that cultural context impacts physiological responses to trauma, challenging current understandings of PTSD.
More research is needed to explore these differences.
